CHEESY CHICKEN AND LEEK PHYLLO PIE
In our house, chicken potpie is a year-round staple. For a springtime feel, we use leeks and mushrooms and a lighter phyllo dough crust. If you don't have gruyere, try Parmesan. -Andrea Stewart, Toronto, Ontario

CHEESY CHICKEN AND VEGGIE PIE
A wonderful savory pie that would be delicious for brunch, lunch, or dinner. The vegetables, fresh spinach, and moist chicken breasts are a hearty filling. Cream cheese adds a touch of tang and makes everything creamy. We loved the crunch from the crescent roll dough crust. Easy to make and so good.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Place four chicken breasts and vegetables in a skillet or baking dish. Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and toss until coated. NOTE: You can use a bit of oil for this part but I opt not to and use the moisture from the chicken and vegetables to help the spices stick.
- 2. Bake all ingredients 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Cool ingredients in the fridge or counter until you can handle them.
- 3. RESERVE ANY JUICES OR PAN DRIPPINGS LEFT FROM BAKING. Chop all ingredients and set aside.
- 4. Place hot water in the pan or on the baking sheet to get the drippings and juices from baking your meat and veggies. Set aside.
- 5. Add water/dripping mixture, cream cheese, and shredded cheese in a mixing bowl. Mix until creamy adding more water if needed (you want it to have a cream soup like texture).
- 6. Add your reserved meat and veggie mix to the cheese mixture.
- 7. Open 1 can of crescent rolls and press into a springform pan or non-stick skillet to form a pie crust.
- 8. Add filling to crust.
- 9. Place 2nd can of crescent rolls to the top of the pie. You may need to press the seams together so that the pie doesn't leak.
- 10. Bake at 350 for 23-30 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and the filling is hot.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel and chop the onion as finely as possible. Melt the butter in the pan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and leave to cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Finely slice the mushrooms and add them to the pan with the onions.
- When the onions and mushrooms are almost cooked, add the flour to the pan and stir to make a thick paste called a roux. Crumble the stock cube in and stir well. Continuously stir the roux over a low heat for 2 mins to cook out the flour. This stops the sauce from having a starchy taste.
- Slowly add the warm milk to the pan, stirring all the time. Once all the milk has been added, season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and mustard powder. Add the bay leaf and bring to the boil, stirring all the time to stop the sauce becoming lumpy.
- When the sauce has thickened, add more milk or water as necessary to get the desired consistency, bring to the boil, then turn down to a very low heat. Chop the cooked chicken into even-sized pieces and add to the sauce. Add your veg and pour into the pie dish.
- Put the pastry on a clean, floured surface. Make sure you also dust the rolling pin with flour. Roll out the pastry, trying not to make any tears. Measure the pastry against the pie dish and once the pastry is slightly larger than the top, lift it carefully over the dish. It might be helpful to use the rolling pin to help you move the pastry. Trim off the pastry hanging over the edge of the dish. Press the outside edge of the pastry with a fork or your fingers to make a nice pattern.
- Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg or milk. Make a small hole in the centre of the pastry top to allow the steam to escape. You can use any leftover pastry to decorate the top of the pie with pastry shapes if you like. Place the pie in the oven for 25 mins. It is ready when golden brown.

Tips:
- Prep your veggies: Before you start cooking, wash and chop all of your vegetables. This will save you time and hassle later on.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook all of your ingredients without overcrowding them.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Season your chicken: Before you cook the chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before you add it to the pie. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the pie. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
- Don't overcook the pie: The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Overcooking the pie will make the crust tough and the filling dry.
Conclusion:
This cheesy chicken and veggie pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. The pie is filled with tender chicken, a variety of vegetables, and a creamy cheese sauce. The flaky crust adds the perfect finishing touch.
