Ingredients

This delicious Chicken and Leek Pie recipe from BBC Good Food is the perfect winter comfort food. You’ll need the following ingredients to make it: 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 large skinless chicken breasts, 2 leeks, roughly chopped, 1 garlic clove, finely chopped, 200ml of dry white wine, 300ml of chicken stock, 2 tablespoons of plain flour, 50g of butter, 1 tablespoon of wholegrain mustard, 350g of ready-rolled puff pastry, 1 beaten egg.

Instructions

To make this delicious pie, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the chicken. Cook for 10 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Add the leeks and garlic, cook for a further 5 minutes, until softened. Pour in the white wine and chicken stock, bring to the boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.

Stir in the flour and butter until combined. Add the mustard and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the mixture has thickened. Spoon the mixture into a 25cm pie dish and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Roll out the pastry and place over the pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp with the back of a fork. Cut a few slits into the pastry and brush with the beaten egg. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
