Chicken, ham, leek & roast potato pie image

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h40m

Yield Serves 4 with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tbsp olive oil
400g chicken breast , cut into small chunks
140g thick-sliced ham , roughly chopped
roughly leftover roast potato , large ones halved
2 leeks , trimmed and sliced
1 heaped tbsp plain flour , plus extra for dusting
200ml white wine
400ml chicken stock
3 heaped tbsp crème fraîche
375g shortcrust pastry sheet (use fresh if you're freezing the pie)
beaten egg , to glaze

Steps:

  • Heat half the oil in a large frying pan and brown the chicken for about 5 mins. Tip into a 22 x 28cm ovenproof pie dish, then evenly scatter over the ham and roast potatoes. Heat the remaining oil and soften the leeks for about 5 mins, then stir in the flour for 1 min.
  • Pour in the wine and stock. Bring to the boil and, stirring continuously, boil rapidly to reduce to a thick sauce. Take off the heat, then stir in the crème fraîche and seasoning. Pour over the pie filling and leave to cool.
  • Unroll the pastry and cut off a small strip to make decorations (if you like). Roll the remainder to fit the dish and place on top of the pie. Use a fork to crimp the edges and press the pastry to the edge of the dish. Make a small hole in the centre, then cover well with cling film. Freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, defrost at room temperature for 8 hrs.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush pie with egg to glaze (making sure the steam hole hasn't sealed up). Cook for 30-40 mins, until golden and hot through.

Tips:

* Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to potatoes and leeks, you can also add other vegetables to your pot pie, such as carrots, celery, peas, or corn. * Season the chicken well. Before cooking the chicken, be sure to season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to add flavor to the pot pie. * Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is an important part of the pot pie, so be sure to use a good quality broth. You can either make your own chicken broth or use a store-bought broth. * Thicken the sauce. If you want a thicker sauce for your pot pie, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, slowly stir the slurry into the boiling pot pie filling until it reaches the desired consistency. * Top the pot pie with a flaky crust. The crust is what really makes the pot pie special. Be sure to use a flaky crust that will brown nicely in the oven.

Chicken, potato, and leek pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious pot pie that your family and friends will love.
