Creamy and hearty, this delicious Chicken and Leek Pie is a homage to the comfort food of our childhood. Sweet caramelised leeks make up the sauce, which has a kick of wholegrain mustard, as well as the earth notes of thyme to take this pie to the next level. Pie not?

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6 and boil a kettle
Meanwhile, wash the leek[s] carefully to remove any grit from between the leaves, then top, tail and slice finely
Heat a large, wide-based pan with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat and once hot, add the sliced leeks and cook for 6-7 min or until they've softened
2
Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes into rough, bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot of boiled water with a pinch of salt over a high heat and cook for 10-15 min or until fork-tender
Once cooked, drain and return them to the pot
Return the drained potatoes to a low heat and add a splash of milk and a large knob of butter and mash until smooth
3
Meanwhile, cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces
Once the leeks have softened, add the chopped chicken to the pan with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 min
Strip the thymeleaves from their stalks and add them to the pan (don't worry if some of the stalks make it into the pan too)
4
Add 15g [30g]butter to the pan
Once melted, add 1 tbsp [2 tbsp]flour and stir with a wooden spoon for 1-2 min
Gradually stir in 200ml [400ml]milk and cook for 3-4 min or until a smooth, thick sauce remains
Add the wholegrain mustard and season with a pinch of salt and pepper– this is your chicken and leek mixture
5
Pour the chicken and leek mixture into the base of an oven-proof dish
Spread the mash evenly on top and run a fork over the top to give it an extra crunch
Put the dish in the oven and cook for 15-20 min or until it's golden and bubbling
6
Meanwhile, wipe the pan clean
Top, tail, peel and chop the carrot[s] into quarters lengthways
Cut at an angle into small bite-sized pieces
Boil a kettle
7
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil
Once hot, add the chopped carrot and cook for 3-4 min or until it's starting to brown
Once the carrots are lightly browned, add the green beans with a knob of butter, a pinch of salt and 50ml [100ml]boiled water
Cook, covered, for 8-9 min or until the carrots are tender
