Chicken Asparagus, Mushroom & Leek Pie

Chicken Asparagus, Mushroom & Leek Pie

Well here is the result of the cooking i did last week, sorry i didn't get to post it until now, apologies i didn't get a step by step for you. Maybe next time.

Basically what i did was after the stock was done, pulled out the chicken, and pulled off all the cooked meat, (a really yukky job but well worth it :) I actually did this a day or so before i cooked the pie, so all of the mess etc was all taken care of and the chicken was ready to go for when i had the time.

When the time came i made a sauce / thick gravy with some of the stock and a bit of milk and cheese, threw in some tinned asparagus, the chicken from the stock and some mushrooms, leeks etc.

This is the filling for the pie and from the quantity i had I have enough of this for two big pies,. An opiton is to put this filling into volauvents or just in pastry parcels for a variations. I made one pie with frozen puff pastry and put the rest of the filling in the freezer for another time. Quite economical its a bit of work but easy now for next time all the work is done.

Getting a couple of meals from the chicken stock, having chicken soup or Asian styled soup. Great in all this cold rainy weather :)
