As its British Pie Week I thought I would share my favourite pie recipe, you just cant beat this combination. This recipe is perfect for rainy days and great with mash or just veg!

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken breasts or some leftover roast chicken

1. Sauté the onions and the leeks for 4-5 mins, the stir in the garlic. 
2. Add the white wine and reduce by 2/3, add the stock and reduce by 1/2.
3. Add in the cream, tarragon and sweetcorn then simmer until thickened.
4. Season and then put it into a pie dish, cover with the puff pastry  and fold over the overhanging pastry on to the pastry lid. Brush with beaten egg and cook for 40 mins at  190ºC/375ºF/gas.
