Chicken, Leek and Caerphilly Cheese Pie
Not many people know this but when I was in high school, I spent three months studying abroad in Wales. This Chicken, Leek, Caerphilly Cheese and Prune Pie is a dish that I ate while I was there and never forgot. It uses Caerphilly cheese which is a hard, crumbly white cheese. If you can’t find Caerphilly, you can substitute it with a strong crumbly cheddar.Â
Start by sautéing onions and garlic in a skillet. Add chicken and sear for 5 minutes until cooked on the outside. Make the sauce by stirring in flour and leeks. Pour in white wine and chicken stock, then add double cream and mustard. Stir well as you add prunes, cheese, and herbs. Place the pie filling in a pie dish and top with a pastry lid. Bake for 25 minutes.Â
To make Chicken, Leek, Caerphilly Cheese and Prune Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

Recipe Reviews
Love this chicken prune pie more than meat pie! Going to be making this a lot more often now.
Ditched the mustard cause I hate the flavor but other than that I followed the recipe step by step and it was purrrfection.
Can't wait to bring this to my friends birthday party tonight, I already snuck in a small bite and I just know she will love it.
My husband really likes this chicken leek prune pie with cheese, I doubled the cheese the second time around though because we're huge cheese lovers.
Shared this recipe idea with my mom and we thought maybe we should make some sort of sauce and therefore we got some tomato paste with seasoning already in it and put it on the top of this, absolutely magnificent!!
Added a lot of cheese to the inside of this and I enjoyed it so much, really happy with this recipe.
Yummy, best prune chicken pie out there, make it if you're second guessing,don't.
I hold this recipe close to my heart, officially one of my favorite none-sweet pies that isnt' just filled with some sort of meat.
If you want to start a party in your mouth, I'd eat this. It does the trick trust me, loved it so much.
Gotta hand it to you, you really come up with some gooood stuff, this was very delicious.
Took me longer than 50 minutes for sure but had a wonderful dinner once it was done.
Had this for dinner today with some yummy cheesecake mini's for dessery, everything was perfect.
The whole top of my caerphilly prune pie was sunken in..we still ate it and it was good but have to make the time shorter or something I guess.
Made this for my grandma on our family Friday and she was so proud of me, the whole family including myself really loved this.
