Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).

  • 2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Cook chicken in batches, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes or until browned. Remove chicken from the pan.

  • 3. In the same pan cook the leek, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, thyme and almonds. Cook, stirring for 1 minute or until fragrant. Return chicken to the pan, add the flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Gradually stir in stock, bringing to the boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Season to taste. Cool for 10 minutes.

  • 4. Trim pastry to fit the top of the pan. Cut pastry off-cuts into decorative shapes. Top pie with pastry shapes, brushing with egg wash.

  • 5. Bake pie for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden. Serve topped with extra thyme.
