Chicken And Leek Pie

Classic Pie Recipe

Chicken, Bacon And Leek Pie is one of those classic meals that is really delicious you wonder if you could really make a good version yourself. Well you can – it really is very easy to make and can be economical too. Because it is a pie with plenty of filling ingredients you need only 2 breasts of chicken to serve 4 people and it will still be very meaty because you have good chunks of chicken – plus the bacon.

This classic pie recipe is really easy to make. Made with chicken breast it has plenty of meaty chunks but will not break the bank

Buying Chicken

I generally buy free range chickens as I hate the thought of how mass factory farmed chickens are treated, but because I am only buying 2 pieces for 4 people it feel more affordable. And you absolutely notice the quality of the meat too. I have been reading the book Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat
– and will do a review on it in due course – but it is confirming all my worst fears about meat – not only for the animals sake but for the environment and our human health.

Making The Pie

This is a one pot recipe plus a pie dish. The pie filling can all be done in one pot and then it is transferred into a pie dish with a pastry topping. I like puff pastry with this pie so I bought some ready made puff pastry sheets. I am afraid I have never yet attempted to make my own puff pastry – one day may be! Of course, if you wish you could make some shortcrust pastry to go on top.

Serving Pie

I served the pie with sweet potato wedges, sugar snap peas and carrots. I always like to get plenty of variety of veggies in with a pie. It is really good with plenty of vegetables!
