This is truly the tastiest recipe for a humble chicken pie. It makes enough for 4 adults ,cook and serve it in individual pie dishes with plenty of bread to mop up the sauce.Firstly make mash potato for the top of the pie, keep the mash a bit dry, it will absorb some of the sauce later.For mash potato you'll need:
1 kg of potatoes
100 ml of double cream
1 tbsp of wholegrain mustard
70 gr of grated cheddar
1 tbsp of butter
salt to taste
Set the mashed potatoes aside, it's time to make the pie filling.We will need:
500 gr chicken tighs , cubed
500 gr chestnut mushrooms, chopped
2 medium leeks, chopped
200 ml double cream
1 pint of cider
2 bay leaves

salt to taste
Brown the chicken in the pan , add mushrooms and leeks and stir fry for a minute, add the cider, turn down the fire, cover and cook for 15 min. Stir in the cream, add the parsley and bay leaves, cook for a further 10-15 minutes.
Switch off, set aside, preheat the oven gaz mark 5 ,190C. Get the pie dishes buttered.Fill them up with the creamy chicken filling.
Put the mashed potatoes on the top and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown!
