Irish Chicken and Leek Pie

 

Features

Originally an Irish recipe - a hot favourite among the British nation.

 

Ingredients  (Click here for measurement conversion)

1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust

1 (4 pound) whole chicken, deboned and cut into bite size pieces

4 slices cooked ham

4 leeks, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

1 pinch ground mace or ground nutmeg

1 1/4 cups chicken stock

1 tablespoon milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

 

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • In a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, layer the chicken, ham, leeks and onion a couple of times each until the dish is full.

  • Season each layer with a little salt, pepper and mace.

  • Pour the chicken stock over the layers, and dampen the edges of the dish.

  • Roll the pie pastry out large enough to cover the top of the dish, and place over the top.

  • Crimp the sides down with a fork, and trim the excess from the edges.

  • Cut a round hole in the center of the pastry.

  • Roll dough scraps out and cut into strips.

  • Use the strips to form a design, and place lightly over the hole.

  • Brush the entire top with milk.

  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is cooked through.

  • If the top crust is getting too brown, cover it with parchment or aluminum foil.

  • While the pie is baking, heat the cream over low heat.

  • When the pie is cooked, remove from the oven, and carefully remove the design from the hole.

  • Pour the cream into the hole, and replace the design.

  • Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
