Ingredients:
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 medium leek, trimmed and chopped
150ml water
1 chicken stock cube
1kg chicken fillets, cooked
100g sliced smoked ham
2 tbsp plain flour
300g half-fat cr?me fraiche
Filo pastry
Sunflower oil
100ml white wine (optional ~ I haven't tried it with this, and prefer it as it is if I'm honest)
0.) If you're using raw chicken, then cook until it's white in a saucepan before starting on anything else ~ We usually use the left-over chicken which is already cooked so this step isn't usually necessary (also I had to cook it in my practical thingy since it showed more 'skill')
ALSO, preheat the oven to 200?C/Fan 180?C/Gas 6
1.) Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a low heat. Then add the onion a crushed garlic and fry for around 5 minutes ish. (Or until the onion has softened but not coloured) Stir occasionally, then add the leek, stir constantly for 1 more minute.
2.) If you're using the white wine, add it and also add 100ml of the water. Dissolve the stock cube in the frying pan by squishing it with a wooden spoon. Keep simmering on a high heat, and stir constantly until the liquid has reduced by about half, then remove the pan from the heat.
3.) Cut up the cooked chicken into chunks and put them in a large bowl. Tear up the ham and add that, then add the flour and mix it up until the meat is all covered. Then put them in an oven-proof dish (with tall enough sides)
4.) Add the mixture of leek, onion ect on top of the chicken and ham and spread it evenly on top. Then, spread the cr?me fraiche on top of that so it's all covered.
5.) Grab some filo pastry and scrunch it up (like I did in the picture) and place them on top bit-by-bit until it's all covered.
6.) Optional: Brush some olive oil on top of the pastry at the end.
7.) Finally, bake for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is crisp and a golden brown colour.
