Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 large leeks, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ lbs (700g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • ½ cup frozen peas (optional)

For the pastry topping:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. Sauté the leeks and garlic – In a large pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add leeks and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until soft.
  2. Cook the chicken – Add chicken chunks, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. Thicken the sauce – Stir in flour, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw taste.
  4. Add liquids – Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream, stirring continuously. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Finish with mustard and peas – Stir in Dijon mustard and frozen peas (if using). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Pie

  1. Preheat the oven – Set to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the pastry – Roll out puff pastry slightly and place it over the filling. Trim excess and press edges to seal.
  3. Brush with egg wash – Beat egg yolk with milk and brush over the pastry for a golden finish.

Step 3: Bake and Serve

  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes – Until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  2. Let it rest – Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  3. Garnish and enjoy – Sprinkle with fresh thyme and serve hot.
