Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, fan 180°C, gas 5. Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and leeks and cook gently for 5 minutes.
Stir in the mushrooms, rosemary, roast chicken and the soup. Season with black pepper, then simmer for 5-10 minutes. Pour into a 1.5-litre pie dish.
Brush a little water along the edge of the pie dish. Unroll the pastry over the dish, trim off the excess and press to seal the edges.
Make a small slit in the centre; place on a baking tray and brush the top with beaten egg. Bake for 30 minutes until golden. Serve with the beans.

Our mouth-watering chicken & leek recipe delivers a classic British pie.
If you’re looking for a proper pie with plenty of old-school charm, you’re in the right place! This chicken leeks recipe is the kind of hearty British classic that turns simple ingredients into something seriously satisfying, with roast chicken, leeks, mushrooms, and a rich, creamy sauce all tucked beneath crisp puff pastry (which you don’t even have to make yourself!)
This amazing chicken leek dish starts with olive oil, garlic, leeks, and mushrooms. Closed cup chestnut mushrooms work beautifully here, but you could also use button mushrooms, portobello, or a mix of wild mushrooms if you want a little more earthy flavour. Add chopped fresh rosemary for a herby hit, then stir in the cooked roast chicken and a tin of cream of chicken soup. Top off with the ready-rolled pastry, brush with egg and bung it in the oven. Before you know it you’ve got a proper centrepiece - golden, bubbling, and impossible to resist.
This chicken & leek pie recipe is perfect for a Sunday lunch, or chilly weeknight dinner. Serve with roasted green beans, creamy mashed potatoes, or roasted carrots and parsnips, and a glug of gravy on the side wouldn’t go amiss either, especially if you like your chicken and leek pie with a little extra indulgence.
