Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
500 g (1lb 2 oz) chicken thighs, cut into 2 cm (¾ inch) dice
3 tablespoons butter
1 leek, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
150 g (5 ½ oz) Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons plain (all-purposed) flour
250 ml (1 cup) chicken stock
125 ml (½ cup) cream
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped sage
2 sheets butter puff pastry
1 egg, lightly beaten
Procedure:
1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan and cook the chicken in two batches over high for 3-4 minutes each batch, until lightly browned but not cooked all the way through. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
2. Melt the butter in the same pan and cook the leek and garlic over low heat for 6-8 minutes, or until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 6-8 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the wine and boil for 2-3 minutes, or until nearly all the wine has evaporated. Sprinkle the flour over the top,, stir for 1 minute, then add the stock and cream. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened. Season to taste, remove from the heat and cool. Stir in the parsley and sage.
3. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade. To make individual potpies, divide the mixture among four 315 ml (1 ¼ ramekins). Cut four 12 cm (5 inch) rounds from the pastry, brush the ramekin rims with a little beaten egg, then place the pastry lids on top. Press the rims down firmly to seal. Cut out the pastry scraps and decorate the tops if you wish, brush with egg and cut three steam holes in each pie with a sharp knife. Bake on the bottom shelf for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden.
Note: to make one large pie, place the mixture in a shallow 23 cm (9in) pie dish, roll the two sheets of pastry together and place over the mixture. Seal the edges with a fork. Make several small steam holes in the pastry with a sharp knife. Brush with beaten egg and bake in a 180 degrees centigrade oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden.
