Thermomix Creamy Leek and Chicken Pie

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.

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.
