Pies are the perfect comfort food during winter. The pastry aroma fills the kitchen as it cooks, and this hearty chicken pie filling will warm you all the way through.
My recipe today is for a chicken and leek pot pie. When I make pies I aim to make a really tasty filling and then I usually add just one layer of crispy pastry to the top. I find this style of chicken pie is a lot quicker to make and ends up having half the calories of a regular pie with a shortcrust base and puff pastry top.
Previously I shared a recipe for Guinness Pie which is another fabulous winter meal.
Chicken Pie Step by Step
The recipe for this pie is really straightforward.
The Thermomix does all the work cooking the chicken and then the leek filling.
The final stage is to add pastry to the pie and bake it in the oven.
If you're making this dish ahead of time just complete the recipe up until baking. The pie is best baked just before serving.

Nola Harrington says
Delicious 😋 I had less chicken but added some homegrown tiny cauliflower flowers and celery to make up content and added parsley and tarragon
Made it with pasty top would be lovely with pastry under as well
Laura Darlington says
Made this as part of the cook alongs and love it.

My daughter and I made this last night. It was delicious!!
We did add some sliced mushrooms in with the leek as we move our mushies. Consistency of the filling was a bit too loose for our liking but just thickened with some extra cornflour and it was perfect!
We will definitely be making this again. Super easy and so yummy.

Hi there
Just making it now but there’s a mention of flour in the instructions but not in the ingredients. Can you correct to show how much we add please? Just winging it this time around. Smells amazing so far!
Cheers
Martin

Hi Martin, I'm so sorry about that error, I have fixed the recipe. I added 2 tsp of cornflour.
I hope you enjoy the pie 🙂
