CHICKEN AND LEEK PIE

Ingredients:

½ cup flour

½ teasp white pepper

1 teasp salt

500g diced chicken breast fillets

2 tabsp olive oil

25g butter

2 leeks (white parts only)

2 cloves garlic crushed

Method:

Place flour, pepper and salt in a bowl and stir.  Add chicken and toss well.  Shake off any excess flour.  Heat oil and butter in a frying pan over high heat.  Add chicken pieces and stir fry until lightly browned and sealed, but not cooked all the way through.  Remove chicken from pan and set aside.  Place leeks and garlic in the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until soft and wilted.  Add wine and boil for 1 minute.  Add stock and cream and simmer gently for a further 5 minutes.  Add chicken, peas and tarragon and cook for a minute longer.  Remove from heat and let cool.  Stir in parsley. Put into pie cases.

I doubled the quantity but used only 3 leeks.  It made 26 pies in the pie maker
