Chicken, Ham & Leek Pie

What is it?

Ham and leeks join breast pieces in a creamy sauce under a puff pastry lid. It's a pie format rather than a full pie shell, so the filling is open at the base and capped with pastry on top. The sauce does the heavy lifting, coating the meat and vegetables in one filling. Expect a savoury pie profile, with the ham adding salt and the leeks bringing a mild onion note. Frozen, it needs oven baking until the pastry is browned and the centre is hot through. Serve with mash or steamed greens for a full plate.
