Instructions
1
In a large pan, sauté the chicken pieces in olive oil until golden brown. Remove the meat from the pan and set it aside.
2
In the same pan, add the sliced leek and simmer over medium heat for 5–8 minutes, until completely softened. Toward the end, stir in the chopped garlic.
3
Sprinkle the leek with flour and stir for 1 minute. Gradually pour in the stock and cream while stirring constantly to get a smooth sauce.
4
Return the chicken to the sauce, stir in the mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens, then pour the filling into the baking dish.
5
Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the baking dish like a lid. Press the edges of the dough firmly against the edge of the dish, then make a small cut in the center with a knife to let steam escape.
6
Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for about 20–25 minutes, until the pie is golden brown and crispy.
