Preparation
- In a large pot, place your chicken along with finely chopped onions, bay leaves, thyme, carrots, and cloves. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot to cool slightly, reserving the broth. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped leeks, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened, then add thyme and carrots.
- Whisk together plain flour, chicken stock, and cream in a bowl. Pour into the skillet, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5–7 minutes. Mix in Dijon mustard and grated parmesan.
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and line a pie dish. Pour in the filling, level off, and cover with another pastry layer, sealing the edges.
- Chill the pie in the fridge for about 30 minutes, then preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Bake the pie for 55-60 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
