Chicken, Leek and Caerphilly Cheese Pie

Share

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. 

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. 

To make Chicken, Leek, Caerphilly Cheese and Prune Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

Love this chicken prune pie more than meat pie! Going to be making this a lot more often now.

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.

Laylah Etuk

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!!

Yazmin Masinter

Added a lot of cheese to the inside of this and I enjoyed it so much, really happy with this recipe.

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.
