Sauté Pan Chicken & Leek Pie
Just the thing to put your leftover chicken in
This easy Sauté Pan Chicken & Leek Pie has become a favourite in my home. This pie is easy to prepare, delicious, and loved by my children and husband.
Ingredients
- 2 leeks, washed, chopped
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 400g meat of 1 medium cooked Chicken
- 180g feta cheese, crumbled
- 30g Parmesan, grated
- 8 sheets filo pastry, fresh
- 40g Butter, melted
- 2 Tbs Olive oil
Step 1
Heat the oil in the Sauté Pan over medium heat. Cook the leeks for 5 minutes or until soft but not brown. Place in a bowl and wipe out pan with paper towel. In the bowl, combine parsley, chicken and cheese with the leeks and stir well. Season well with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Take 4 sheets of filo, brush each with combined butter/oil mixture; layer together and push down into Sauté Pan. Take the remaining 4 sheets, brush with butter/oil mixture; layer together and place at right angles on top of first 4 layers in the pan to form a cross.
Step 3
Place the filling into the pastry shell and spread evenly.
Step 4
Fold the overhanging edges in and over to totally enclose the filling.
Step 5
Brush lightly with melted butter.
Step 6
Place Sauté Pan on stove top, covered with vents closed over medium heat; cook for 10 minutes or until lid is hot and the pie base is golden brown. Invert pie onto chopping board, slide pie back into Sauté Pan and cook for a further 5-10 minutes on a low-medium heat or until the pastry has browned (lid off).
