Healthy chicken pot pie for baby led weaning. Really easy to make, perfect for the freezer and this recipe makes a family pies + 4 mini pies too!

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 180ºC.
  • Sift flour into a bowl, then work the butter through the flour until it starts to resemble breadcrumbs. Add water one tablespoon at a time and mix until it comes together into a rough dough then knead on a well-floured surface. Divide the dough into two, then roll a the base and place into a well-buttered pie dish. Roll the top and leave aside while you make the filling.
  • Heat a little rapeseed oil on a frying pan and fry until the mushrooms are browned. Leave aside in a bowl. Then add the onion to the pan and cook until it starts to turn translucent. Add in the garlic, carrots and leeks and stir well. Then cover the pan with a lid and sweat the vegetables for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and mix well, then cook over medium heat for about 1 minute. Then slowly pour in the stock stirring well as you pour to avoid lumps forming in the sauce.
  • Bring the heat up on the sauce until it starts to bubble then remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the chicken, creme fraiche, thyme leaves and mustard.
  •  Fill the pie with the filling, then add the top pastry. Brush the opening with a little egg wash to make them stick together, then cut 2 air holes in the centre.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Serve warm
