I remembered to take a photo only after pigging halfway through the pie. I guess I am not a hardcore food blogger yet ;) The chicken paired really well with the leek in this recipe and I got rave reviews for the end product. Here's the rough recipe:
Simplified Chicken Leek Pie
For 2:
Chick meat for 2, cubed and boiled
Leek for 2, thinly sliced and blanched
Mixed veges for colour (optional), diced and blanched
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
Chicken stock
Cream
Salt, black pepper, herbes de provence
Make a roux with butter and flour.
Add stock and cream (I used a ratio of 1:1) to roux till the desired consistency (I prefer it thick than liquidy). Season with salt, pepper and herbs.
Mix veges and chicken in a pie dish. Add the prepared white sauce and combine well.
Top with puff pastry, brush with eggwash and bake till golden brown at 200deg.
Serve fresh from the oven.
