Puff pastry tops a filling of chicken, ham, and leeks in a creamy sauce, all baked in a ceramic dish that stays with you after the meal. It comes frozen and goes straight into the oven, where the pastry puffs up golden and flaky while the filling heats through to a bubbling, saucy consistency underneath. Compared with pies that use a mashed potato topping or a lighter shortcrust shell, this version leans fully into rich puff pastry and a cream-based sauce for its character. Expect tender chicken pieces, chunks of ham, and soft leek slices in a filling that's closer to a thick white sauce than a gravy. Cooking from frozen takes around an hour.
