Tips for the best Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Pie. Chicken thigh - Packed with a lot more flavour than breast and tends to end up more tender after cooking. Chicken Stock/Cream - A lot of recipes out there use one or the other, but I truly feel a mixture of both is the best option. The chicken stock gives that gorgeous depth of flavour whilst the cream gives that classic creamy chicken.
Steps to make Chicken, leek and mushroom pie:
- Chop up the chicken breast into bitesize peices. melt the butter in a large frying pan (I normally use a wok). Once the butter has melted add the chicken and cook through.
- While the chicken is cooking chop the leeks into medium chunks. Chop the mushrooms into small chunks and finely chop the spring onions.
- Add all the vegetables and mushrooms to the chicken. cook for about two minutes.
- Next, make up your stock cube and add the mustard powder, nutmeg and creme fraiche and stir. Once combined add to the chicken and vegetables and season.
- Allow the mixture to reduce to a thick sauce (usually by about half). You can add cornflour to speed this up if you want.
- Finally assemble your pie! layer the mixture into your pie dish until about 2 cm from the top of the dish. Then roll out, score your pastry and cover with an egg or milk wash. Then add the pastry to the top of the pie dish with the wash side up.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown at 180C. I then usually serve this with potatoes. The pie is stuffed full of vegetables so I don't always bother to add extra to serve.
Chicken pie is a favourite with my kids just like it has always been a favourite of mine. This is a creamy version with mushrooms and leeks topped with puff pastry. About an hour before serving mix chicken through sauce and place in a pie dish. To make the topping, mix flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and optional rosemary or parmesan. Make a well in the centre and pour in milk and oil.
