Chicken and leek pies are a comforting and delicious dish that combines tender chicken, savory leeks, and a creamy sauce all encased in flaky puff pastry. This recipe is perfect for both family dinners and special occasions, offering a hearty and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
- For a more flavorful dish, marinate the chicken thighs in your favorite herbs and spices for a few hours before cooking.
- Ensure the leeks are thoroughly cleaned, as they can hold dirt and grit between their layers.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry for a clean and professional look.
- Chill the puff pastry in the fridge for a bit before rolling it out; this makes it easier to handle and ensures it remains flaky.
- Brush the top of the pies with a beaten egg for a beautiful golden and glossy finish.
- Allow the filling to cool slightly before filling the pastry to prevent the bottom from getting soggy.
Once the Chicken and leek pies are golden brown and crispy, they are ready to be enjoyed. These savory pies offer a delightful balance of flavors and textures that are sure to delight your taste buds.
