- 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.

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.Conclusion:
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.
