I love Chicken and Leek pie, usually it comes topped with pastry, but to keep the calories down I've used mashed potato. Which I pipped on (It looks pretty right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One little trick I have learned when doing a mashed potato topping for a pie, is to add eggs, they ensure it gets a nice golden topping without having to use butter. You will see me do that in quite a few recipes on here where I use mashed potato for a topping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sauce I used a mixture of milk, stock, laughing cow and corn starch. I used this combination previously in my Chicken and Asparagus 'No Pastry' Pie<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and it works amazingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So delicious!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could try without the laughing cow, but I think they add to the flavour of the sauce, giving it a creamy taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When making this recipe I like to use 4 mini oven proof dishes, but you can use one big oven proof dish if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can place under the grill for the last few mins, to make more golden on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve with your choice of vegetables. My kids love this with peas, but I like to do some steamed vegetables for me, just to up my speed foods.
