    Made this may times, absolutely delicious. I don’t add the cream though. I just find it too heavy.

    I really want to love this pie but I found it a bit too rich. I added a handful of mushrooms and if I make this again, I will add more leeks and try single cream. My husband loved it so It's probably just me being nitpicky.

    Another recipe where liberties were taken, but I'm sure the Hairy Biker's won't mind. Used chicken thighs and poached for a bit longer. Added some mushrooms and extra leeks. Used cornflour and I increased my gluten free shortcrust recipe to equal what they recommend for the size dish. Very good indeed. Yes, a little time consuming given the steps, but we had two nights meals and a lunch out of it so all is forgiven. I will make sure I have some homecooked ham next time, although great, it was missing that salty element. Great hot or cold!

    This is the best chicken pie ever. I have made various other chicken pies since I made this one but my husband always tells me that they are not as good as this one. So I have given up trying others now and just make this one.
