Ingredients
- 1kg Charlotte potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 60g butter
- 250g bacon lardons
- 3 large leeks, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 3 rosemary sprigs, roughly chopped
- 640g chicken breast fillets, cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 200ml dry cider
- 200ml chicken stock (made with 1⁄2 stock cube)
- 100ml double cream
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 160g Brie, sliced
Step by step
Get ahead
Prep the pie to the end of step 4 several hours ahead, cooling the filling before you add the potato topping, cover and chill. Bake for 35 minutes from chilled in step 5.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the potato slices for 4-5 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 30g of the butter in a large pan and fry the lardons for 4-5 minutes, then remove half to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the leeks, garlic and rosemary to the bacon left in the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, until golden all over. Stir in the flour and cook out for 2 minutes, stirring continuously so the flour doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Add the cider and allow to bubble for a minute, then add the stock, double cream and mustard. Season well, remove from the heat and transfer to a pie dish, about 23cm diameter. Allow to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Overlap the potatoes to form the pie topping and sprinkle over the reserved bacon lardons
- Dot with the remaining butter and bake on a tray in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with the sliced Brie. Return the pie to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, until the cheese has melted into the potatoes.
