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.

10 g garlic
8 peppercorns
30 g butter
400 g leek approx 2 leeks sliced in thin rounds
150 g white wine dry OR Verjuice
1 TBS Dijon mustard
1 TBS chicken stock powder I use Massel brand
5 teaspoon cornflour
2 TBS sour cream
2 sheets puff pastry If you want to be super generous you can use more pastry.
1 egg beaten lightly

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
Place chicken, oil and Thyme in TM bowl. Saute 10min/Varoma/Soft Spoon (Reverse).
Drain the chicken and reserve.
Place the peppercorns and garlic in TM bowl. Chop 3 sec/Speed 9.
Add leek and butter to the garlic mixture. Cook 2min/Varoma/Soft Spoon (Reverse).
Add white wine to the leeks. Cook 5min/Varoma/Soft Spoon (Reverse).
Meanwhile, in a bowl combine mustard, stock powder, sour cream and flour.
Add the sour cream mixture to the leeks. Cook 3 min/100/Speed .5
Return the chicken to the leek mixture. Remove the MC and add the spatula.
Stir while cooking. 1min/100/Speed 1.
Add the chicken and leek filling to the pie dish.
Cut strips of puff pastry to attached to the edge of the baking dish.
Place more pastry over the pie filling and secure it to the edging strips.
Brush the pie with the beaten egg.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and cooked.

Notes

Pastry- I like to use extra puff pastry around the edges to make the pie puff up a little more. You can just use one piece of pastry if you prefer to lessen the calories.

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

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
