It's been a day at home today, loads done, voluntary work this afternoon, and then out in my garden for a few hours when I got back.
Tonight for tea I've made a chicken, ham and leek pie, this is a recipe I originally got from a newspaper at some time a few years ago and I make it now and then when we have leftover cooked chicken.
Fry a sliced onion gently in a little butter.
Slice a couple of leeks and chuck them in with a handful of chopped fresh thyme.
Put a lid on the plan and cook gently for 20 mins or so.
Sprinkle in a tablespoon of flour and stir through until mixed.
Slowly stir in around half pint of milk to make a thick sauce, and then just cook for a couple of mins to cook out the flour.
Season with salt and pepper.
Turn off heat and chuck in the cooked chicken and ham, I used half a small chicken, and a few slices of sliced ham that were in the fridge, just pulled the chicken into small pieces and sliced up the ham.
Leave to cool
Using a pack of frozen ( defrosted) puff pastry, cut in half, and then roll out each piece to about 12" x 8"
Place one sheet on a baking tray, either well greased or use silicone baking sheet
Pile the chicken mixture into the middle, paste the edges with beaten egg, paste the edges of the other piece then place on top and crimp the edges in whatever way you like, then bake in the oven for around 40 mins.
Looks and tastes delicious
