I happened upon this video several years ago when I was craving a chicken and leek pie, and ever since, this has been my go-to every single time!! Straightforward recipe and seriously mad good flavours. What’s not to like!? Thanks for uploading and sharing!

Thank you, it is so great to hear this. I really appreciate your feedback. Do you make it often? 🙂

[@Jaspyboy]

I make it at least a few times a year! I probably can’t go longer than a few months without making this - and neither can my girlfriend 😅 doesn’t matter what time of year it is either!

[@marianasaude9125]

Just cooked this for dinner - absolutely amazing! I have a question: do you have any tips to avoid the soggy pastry?

[@KitchenDraft]

Thank you Mariana, glad to hear this! If the pastry is only covering the top of the dish you should get it quite crispy. The part that touched the mixture will always be a little bit soggy, but nothing major. What I would suggest in case you want very crispy pastry is to cook some separately in a baking tray and add it as a "garnish" when you place the pie in the plate. A controversial advice, but it should work 😁

[@kailexx1962]

If you decide to put pastry on the bottom, here's a tip.... Take the pan you're going to bake in and lightly oil the bottom and place the bottom pastry in the pan. Make sure the pastry covers the sides of the pan also (stretch it a little as needed). Take parchment paper, scrunch it up and then spread it directly on top of the bottom pastry. (The scrunching helps the paper fit the pan better) Weigh down the parchment paper with baking pebbles, dry beans or uncooked rice (You don't need to fill the pan. This is just to keep the paper in contact with the pastry so it doesn't burn. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, set pan aside to cool and prepare your filling. This will "blind bake" your bottom crust and it won't be so soggy once the full bake is done.

[@lauraclements2002]

Loved this ! Thank you 😁

[@KitchenDraft]

Thank you for the positive feedback. See you around with more simple video recipes.

[@danielcarter2546]

Will it affect the cooking time if I put pastry underneath the filling too?

[@KitchenDraft]

Hi Daniel, thanks for stopping by and watching the video!👨‍🍳 My opinion is that this wouldn't work. The puff pastry will get soggy underneath. If you want to have more puff pastry with your dish, I would probably add more on top by rolling it slightly thicker, or cook some puff pastry on the side and add later on to the plate. I really hope this helps, happy cooking!

[@childofgod3675]

Maybe use pie crust for the bottom layer?

[@KitchenDraft]

This might be a good idea! 👍

[@chrismac628]

oooo nice making this tonight with shortcrust - top and bottom will be goooooooooooood :)))

So, how was it? 🙂 Yes, making it with shortcrust works really well to🚀

What do you call the puff pastry ?

[@KitchenDraft]

Hi, sorry I don't really understand the question, happy to answer if you get back to me with a bit more clarity 😁 Do you mean what other names puff pastry comes under or the brand I was using?

[@ACurtis1995]

I’ve never seen puff pastry in a block that I roll myself. I’ve made puffs pastry but I would love to buy that. I’m in America, has anyone found that.

Yes it is great and usually better value for money, where I am located in Jersey, Channel Islands you can find it in most shops, don't know about the US 😬 Thanks for watching

An interesting recipe; I used plain pastry and leftover chicken from last night's roast because that's what I had in; but a standard Chicken, (or Turkey,) pie can be a bit bland so I'm giving it a go.

Perfect, I hope it turned out as expected 👌

[@Eris123451]

@@KitchenDraft It was really nice and much better than I'd half expected, definitely recommend the recipe although I'll use puff pastry next time.

Great 👏 next time give it a go with puff pastry and see how it goes, but just be yourself and add the ingredients you prefer, "my recipe" is just a guideline. 👨‍🍳

What will happen if i put pastry on the bottom of the oven dish aswel then cooked ingredients on top and cover with top layer of pastry? Will the bottom layer get cooked?

[@KitchenDraft]

I believe it will get cooked, but there are also high chances that it will be quite soggy, that's why I've avoided adding it to the bottom. 🙂
