Good evening all,

The way I do it is like this:

Pastry ( i buy mine, sorry cant help you make it im useless!)
Milk
Flour
Cream
White wine if you have any (- dont buy it specially!)
leeks
black pepper
oil
chicken/ turkey breast meat cut into appropriate sizes
onions
butter
mushrooms ( I cant have a meal unles they feature!)

First, clean the leeks then slice into chunky bits. Slice mushrooms if you are using. Chop onion.
Heat oil in the pan and stir fry the chicken till lightly browned. put in the leeks, onions, wine, mushrooms again, lightly sautee, if its sticking add a bit of butter, the meat and veg should be pretty much half cooked by the time you take them out.
Then in a seperate pan make a roux sauce using butter, flour, milk add the black pepper, when its looking ok , add the meat & veg mix, stir in some cream and leave it simmering on a low heat while you roll out the pastry
Add the filling to your pie dish, put the pastry on- then bake for about 30 mins.

I have with roast potatoes and green beans - yum
then in a

Sorry, not tried it, but BBC food recipes are usually pretty good - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/get_cooking/recipes/050.shtml

Good luck!

Hi, I've made this on several occasions but I don't use the celery nor the sausagemeat and I only add wine if I happen to have an open bottle. It is just as nice using diced chicken breast, with red onions instead of leeks and with shortcrust pastry. It is very tasty and easy.

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone can help, I would like to make a home made creamy chicken pie. I dont know how to make the creamy part?

I have made like creamy chicken before with pasta, but that sauce wasn;t thick enough..

Does anyone have any help?

My mum used to make chicken pie regularly, and I still do occasionally. I make it by using leftover cooked chicken, some chopped cooked bacon and a tin of condensed mushroom soup. For some reason it doesn't taste right with condensed chicken soup!

Just put the chicken, bacon (plus any thing else you fancy e.g. cooked peas or sweetcorn) into a pastry case and then empty the tin of soup over it. It is just the right consistency. Top with pastry and cook. So simple - 1 tin makes a pie suitable for about 6 people

i do the same as denise h, but i DO use condensed chicken soup- ( my kids don't do mushroom!!), gives just the right consistency of "sauce".:D
