Obviously you will need to adjust this accordingly. We have an electric fan oven and cook at 190 degrees C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat the 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a pan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add in the finely chopped onion, garlic, and sliced leek &#8211; frying quickly until soft. This is called saut\u00e9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next add in the chicken. Turn it so that it is browned on all sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat the butter in a large saucepan and gently melt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tip in the flour and whisk until all of the flour has been absorbed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slowly begin to add the milk, whisking as you go, adding more as each bit is absorbed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then do the same with the stock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the stock has been absorbed and the mix is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, take off the heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here is the option to add in the mustard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour in the vegetable and chicken mix from the frying pan into the sauce mix &#8211; stir and combine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once combined spread into the bottom of a heat-proof baking dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brush the beaten egg around the top of the dish and then lay the puff pastry over the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a sharp knife, score any pattern you desire into the pastry, before brushing with the remaining egg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put the baking dish into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove from the oven and ensure the chicken is cooked. Ideally with a thermometer reading above 75\u00baC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This can also be frozen for later.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/chicken-and-leek-pie.jpg?resize=1000%2C750\" alt=\"chicken and leek pie\" class=\"wp-image-30259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/chicken-and-leek-pie.jpg?w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/chicken-and-leek-pie.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/chicken-and-leek-pie.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick and simple home-made chicken and leek pie recipe.
