Chicken thigh Packed with more flavor than breasts and can be less tender when cooked. Chicken Stock/Cream Many recipes make use of either one or the other one, however I think mixing both is the most effective choice. The stock from the chicken gives an amazing depth of flavour while the cream offers that traditional creamy chicken the mushroom pie filling and leeks.

Do not cook prior to baking Then bake.It’s essential to let the filling simmer before you place it into the oven. This will allow the flavors to be developed more effectively and it will also bring the amount of liquid so that it’s not watery on the other side. In the same way If you are certain that you prefer a rich sauce, then begin by using 1 cup stock, and modify it according to your preferences.
Can I make use of Chicken Breast? The short answer is yes however, I highly suggest using thigh because of its large fat percentage. More texture and more flavor.
Do I need to use Chestnut Mushrooms? I prefer chestnuts for their meaty-like texture, but you can add any other mushrooms you want to add. The key is to create a amount of color through frying them in butter.
How do you prepare leeks
Leeks can get extremely dirty and sandy, so it’s essential to wash them before you cook them. Like you’ll see,, I cut the leeks into rounds and if the leek is clearly dirty then put the slices in the bowl of water and then swish them around with your fingers. The dirt will sink to the bottom , and the leeks will grow. If it’s one that is particularly filthy, then cut it lengthways and wash dirt this way it won’t be able to produce rounds, that’s all. In any case, make sure you remove the root and the dark green parts that you will need for soups or stocks in the future and they’re not suitable to put in pie.
