Serving Size: 4 - 6
Ingredients
• 6 Chicken thighs or Leftover chicken
• Sprigs rosemary
• 2 Large leeks
• 450 g Butter
• 2 Tbsp. Wholemeal flour
• 400 ml Milk
• 1 Pack puff pastry ready roll
• 1 Egg yolk
• Olive oil
• Salt & Pepper
Method:
1 - Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F.
2 - In a saute pan drizzle a little olive oil and brown your chicken, once brown add the leeks and cook until soft. This whole process should take about 15-20 minutes.
3 - Separate the rosemary leaves from the stalk. And chop leaves finely, add to your chicken and leeks.
4 - When the chicken and leeks are cooked, add the butter let it melt and stir in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the milk a little at a time and leave to cook until it thickens, another 10-12 minutes. Add the mustard and stir. Season to taste.
5 - Pour the mixture in a ceramic pie dish. Cover with the pastry crimping the edges and brush all over with the beaten egg. Make a hole in the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape, then bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown.
6 - Enjoy with a crispy salad with shallots and mustard vinaigrette…
Enjoy…
