Preparation: 30 minutes

Cooking: 40 minutes

Total: 70 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 leeks, thinly sliced
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 package of pre-made pie crusts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened.
Add the sliced leeks and cook for another 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, and cook until the mixture thickens.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Roll out the pre-made pie crusts and line individual pie dishes with the bottom crusts.
Divide the chicken and leek mixture between the pie dishes.
Cover the pies with the remaining pie crusts, sealing the edges and cutting slits in the top for venting.
Place the pies on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
