Ingredients

Method

1.Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a gentle heat and cook the leeks until tender but not coloured (about 15 minutes). Add the chicken and thyme to the pan and cook, turning the chicken occasionally until it is cooked through. Add the flour and mustard to the pan and cook, gently stirring for 2 minutes before adding the wine and chicken stock. Bring to the boil and then gently simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
2.Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.
3.Line 5 x 300ml-capacity pie dishes with pastry. Pile the filling into the dishes and then top with the Brie.
4.Cover with a pastry lid, pressing to seal edges. Make an incision in each pastry lid with a small sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
5.Brush the pastry with egg.
6.Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
7.Serve with steamed greens or a green salad.
