Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 50 grams of butter over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add diced chicken breast into the pan with leeks and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mixture, stir thoroughly, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in 300 ml of chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps, and simmer for 5 minutes until thick.
- Stir in 200 ml of cream and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Roll out 250 grams of puff pastry on a floured surface until large enough to cover the pie dish.
- Place the pastry over the filling in the pie dish, trimming excess. Press down edges to seal and cut slits for steam.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
