Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Have rack 1 rung up from center in oven.
- Gather your ingredients.
- Lightly flour work surface and roll out dough a bit; cut into 4 to 6 portions (I cut rectangles to keep it easy and based on how many people I'm feeding). Cut a small hole in center of each piece of dough with a 1-inch round or heart shaped cookie cutter, or freehand cut some slits or designs with tip of sharp small knife. Using a fork, beat an egg in a small dish with a splash of water. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment and arrange dough pieces. Brush dough with egg wash and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Peel and chop the onion and potato. Halve the celery and carrot lengthwise and chop. Halve the leek, trim top tough greens and roots and run under cold water while fanning the leek to release grit. Shake the leek of excess water and thinly slice. Peel and slice planks off the apple around the core, then stack and dice 1/4 inch.
- Heat a Dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Melt butter and when it foams add the onion, potato, celery, leek, apple, bay and herb bundle and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook to soften, 8 to 10 minutes, partially covered and stirring occasionally. Add flour and stir a minute. Add stock and whisk in to thicken a bit.
- Separate the chicken from the bones and skin and pull meat. Add to sauce to reheat. Remove bay and herbs. Remove chicken from heat and stir in Dijon mustard, cream and lemon juice.
- Serve the chicken and vegetables in bowls and top with pastry.
ROTISSERIE CHICKEN PIES
These are the simplest pies you will ever make. If you don't have a pie maker, bake these in a greased muffin tray on 180 degrees until golden.

Steps:
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for three minutes. Add the remainder of the vegetables and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While this is cooking, remove the skin from the chicken and discard. Take all the chicken off the carcass and shred with your fingers.
- When the vegetables are cooked through, add the flour, bay leaves and chicken stock cube. Add the water and stir through well, this should create a gravy. Add the chicken to the mixture and season to taste. Leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pre-heat your pie maker or your oven. Cut your pastry into circles for the base and for the top. If you're using a pie maker, they usually come with a tool for this but if you're using a muffin tray, you may have to do a little guess work. Line each pie tray with pastry and spoon in the chicken mixture into the pastry. Top with a circle of pastry and close your pie maker. Cook for approximately six minutes or until golden brown. As a tip, if you have leftover bits of pastry, combine them in a ball and roll it out with a rolling pin before cutting more circles.
