Sliced leek and pieces of chicken sit in a creamy sauce under bakery-style pastry, giving this frozen pie a classic filling that leans more gently than beef gravy pies. Leek brings a mild onion note and a little sweetness, while the meat stays in small pieces rather than mince. Herbert Adams' pie range usually runs on familiar comfort fillings, and this one sits near the more restrained end of it. Bake from frozen until the pastry is crisp and the centre is hot, then let it stand briefly before serving.
