Chicken and leek pies - Real Recipes from Mums

I love this recipe for chicken and leek pies it’s so tasty! I wanted to share it with you!

Ingredients (makes 6 small pies)

500 g diced chicken
2 leeks, sliced
200 ml cream
dried tarragon
turmeric powder
salt
olive oil
2 sheets puff pastry, defrost (cut each sheet in 4 little squares)

Method

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
In a large pan cook the sliced leeks in olive oil till soft. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the diced chicken to the pan and cook until brown.
Add the cooked leeks to the pan, together with the cream, some salt, some turmeric powder and some tarragon. Cook until the cream is nicely reduced.
Spray a 6-tartlet baking set with olive oil and gently put 1/4 of one puff pastry sheet on the top of each well. Leave the sides hanging out.
Pour the chicken and leek mix on the top of the 6 pastries.
Use the other 4 little squares of puff pastry to close the pies.
You will have 2 squares remaining. If you want you can use them to cover the top. I made hearts.
Brush some olive oil on the top of the pies and bake for 25 minutes.

Notes

If you prefer you can use the 2 sheets of puff pastry to make a single big pie!

  I really do love the addition of the tasty and pretty heart on top. I do love to top all of my pies, pastries and other baked good with themed and fun toppers. It is so good for releasing creativity and coming up with themed toppers and themed foods to eat.

I really love this recipe. I had bought Chicken and Leek pies at the supermarket and was a fan. Love the idea of making them at home myself.

Yes, sure. You can make a big pie instead of individual ones. It’s quicker too!
The taste is delicious, I promise you!

  cheers. i think that the puff pastry is a really great shortcut! it saved a lot of time (and washing up) than having to make the pastry first. i love these ingredients and my whole family was really impressed. i definately will be making these again and will certainly be more than happy to share your recipe with my friends and family. thanks so much for sharing it. it is a real winner in my home
