Ingredients:
- 500g chicken thigh fillet
- 2 large leeks, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp JUX White Onion
- 1 tbsp JUX Garlic
- 1 tbsp JUX Parsley
- 2 tbsp JUX Broccoli
- 100ml single cream
- 50g grated cheddar
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
-
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C and get ready for the pie magic!
-
Cook the chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks and fry them off in an ovenproof frying pan with a little olive oil. Once the chicken starts to brown, add the JUX Garlic, JUX White Onion, and a splash of water. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for about 1 minute.
-
Add the leeks and seasoning: Stir in the chopped leeks, grated cheddar, JUX Broccoli Powder, JUX Parsley, and single cream. Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes, and add a splash more water to loosen the mixture if needed.
-
Assemble the pie: Cover the pan with a sheet of puff pastry, cutting off the excess. Crimp the edges and pierce a hole in the middle to let the steam escape. Use any leftover pastry to get creative and make fun designs on top of your pie!
-
Egg wash and bake: Beat an egg and brush it over the top of the pie. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
