gently fry the garlic (I used like 3 cloves) and the finely chopped onion.
coat chicken in a bit of cayenne. fry chicken diced into small chunks.
until browned. thinly slice 1 leek and some mushrooms. salt, pepper, couple of dollops of wholegrain mustard and then a big glug of white wine. turn the heat up and let it cook down a bit. then add a big glug of cream too. chicken stock. cook for a bit then throw in a pie dish and put the pastry on top. cook for about 20 minutes I think.

i make a chicken pie too. it's a recipe from an old betty crocker cookbook from the 60s.

for the sauce:
2 T butter
2 T flour
black pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk

for the filling (i vary the filling sometimes):
chicken (usually just chicken breast or thighs baked in the oven seasoned with salt/pepper/italian seasoning then shredded)
mixed vegetables (usually frozen carrots, peas, green beans - steamed in microwave)
sometimes i use frozen asian mixed veg (water chestnuts, bell pepper, baby corn, sugar snap peas, onions also steamed in microwave)
and another time i used thanksgiving dinner leftovers (stuffing, shredded turkey, roasted eggplant/sweet potato/butternut squash)

and a frozen deep dish pie crust, thawed

i melt the butter in a sauce pot then add the flour and cook til boiling whisking the whole time (it doesn't take long). then add the milk and broth and bring to a boil (whisking most of the time). add the chicken and veg and stir together til coated and dump into a baking dish. top the contents with the thawed out pie crust and bake til the pie crust is done. the rest of the stuff inside is already cooked so the pie crust is all you have to worry about.

last night i made a quiche:

4 eggs
1 3/4 cup milk
1/8 t nutmeg
2 slices ham, chopped
chopped onion (green onion is best but i only had purple onion)
6-8 oz shredded cheese (i used provolone and some fancy cheese from bristol farms but it actually tastes best with gruyere or swiss, which i didn't have)
deep dish pie crust

i baked the thawed pie crust for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, mixed all the above together and poured into the crust. then baked the whole thing at 400 for an hour (i covered the edges in foil so that they wouldn't burn and then took off the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking).
