Spring Chicken Pie blanketed in golden pastry dotted with herbs, the filling is a moreish mixture of tender roasted chicken and its sausage stuffing, leeks, bacon, and sweet Portabellini mushrooms. A splash of whiskey and cream binds the ingredients together whilst thyme lends its fragrant flavor to what has been the tastiest way to see out winter.

Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roughly shred Whole Chicken (1). Set aside.
2.
In a heavy-bottomed casserole over medium to high heat, melt Salted Butter (1 Tbsp). Sauté the Leeks (2) with the Streaky Bacon (6 slices) until the leeks have softened and the bacon is cooked through.
3.
Add in Baby Bella Mushrooms (3 1/3 cups) and Thyme Leaves (3 sprigs), and season with Coarse Sea Salt (to taste) and Coarse Black Pepper (to taste). Cook until the mushrooms have browned.
4.
Deglaze the casserole with the Whiskey (3 1/3 Tbsp) and leave to cook for a further 1 minute before pouring in the Pouring Cream (1 cup). Stir to combine and add in the shredded chicken and stuffing.
5.
Check the seasoning if necessary and pour in the Dry White Wine (1/3 cup). Leave the mixture to simmer over low heat for a further 8-10 minutes and set aside.
6.
On a floured surface, roll out the Puff Pastry (1). Sprinkle over the Fresh Rosemary (1 sprig) and Fresh Thyme (1 sprig) and use the rolling pin to embed them into the pastry.
7.
Fill your pie dish or dishes with the chicken mixture and drape over the pastry, cutting off any excess and decorating the pie as desired. Brush the top of the pie with the Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1).
8.
Place the pie on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
9.
Serve the chicken pie with side dishes of your choice. Enjoy!
