How it’s made
Another benefit of chicken pot pie is that you can use leftovers from your Sunday roasts to make the dish. Simply freeze any leftover chicken until you feel the urge or craving for pie, then mix up a creamy white sauce for your meat. Add some fried leeks, chopped bacon pieces, onions, mushrooms… whatever takes your fancy. Then pour your creamy sauce into a pie dish. Roll out some puff pastry for the topping and glaze with a little beaten egg yolk. Pop it in the oven and wait for your yummy pie to bake!
