With a blend of simple ingredients, this recipe will guide you through creating a mouthwatering pie that everyone will love.
- For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken thighs in olive oil and thyme for an hour before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a bit more flour to the mixture.
- Don’t skip blanching the leeks; it helps to remove any bitterness and ensures a softer texture in the pie.
- Use a good quality puff pastry for the best results. Make sure to let it thaw properly before using it.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast if you prefer less fatty meat, but thighs tend to stay juicier during cooking.
- Add the peas at the very end of the filling preparation to keep their vibrant color and slight crunch.
- For a golden-brown crust, brush the puff pastry with a beaten egg before baking.
- Let the pie rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set properly before slicing.
There you have it—a delicious, creamy chicken, bacon, and leek pie that’s sure to become a favorite at your table.
