Chicken pie with a difference from Tesco Real Food - a creamy chicken, crème fraîche, leek & lemon filling topped with light, flaky filo pastry. The key to a great chicken pie is ensuring that it is packs a real punch of flavour; there is nothing worse than a pie with a lacklustre filling. It's got to be creamy, decadent and packed with a good amount of meat and creamy leek sauce. Instead of using pie crust I used puff pastry and just laid it across the top of the casserole.

Reviews for: Photos of Irish Chicken and Leek Pie. Who would say no to a comforting homemade pie? Using full-fat dairy provides a source of extra energy and vitamins in these chicken and leek pie recipe. This chicken and leek pie includes freshly poached chicken and homemade pastry but this is an ideal recipe for using up leftover roast chicken and, if time is short, use ready made pastry or just a pastry top. I prefer to make my pastry with a high quantity of fat to flour as I like the pastry to melt.
