Chicken, bacon and leek pies
We love pies and chicken pies are totally awesome. I bought some individual pie tins, classic oval shape and the size you buy at the petrol station or local dairy and I have really enjoyed making, eating and filling my freezer with pies. Chicken is probably my fave - lummox number 3 informs me that pulled pork with black beans is his fave - but that is another story... Ingredients - to make 8 pies 1x pack savoury short crust pastry 1x pack flaky puff pastry The blocks give the best result - but if you get pre-rolled sheets you will need 4 of each. 6-8 skinless chicken thighs 1 leek chopped into 1cm chunks 4 rashers streaky bacon 1/2 cup 1cm diced mushrooms (button or portobello) 50g butter 1/4 cup plain flour 1 cup milk 1 cup chicken stock (use juices from cooking the chicken and top up if needed) Dried or fresh herbs if your choice - I used an Italian dried mix and a large handful of chopped fresh parsley. 1 egg lightly beaten to glaze....
