Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened, then add cubed chicken thighs, browning them on all sides until golden.
  2. In the same pan, melt butter until bubbling. Sprinkle in plain flour and stir for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken stock until smooth and thickened, then add double cream and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spoon the creamy chicken and leek filling into a 1.2-liter (2-pint) pie dish, ensuring the mixture is evenly distributed for balanced flavor.
  4. Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C/gas 6). Place the ready-rolled puff pastry over the dish, trim any excess dough, crimp the edges to seal it nicely, and create a few steam vents on top.
  5. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg, then bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
