Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion and leek and fry gently for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the ham and defrosted chicken and gravy. Sprinkle over the flour and stir for a few minutes.
- Add the thyme and cream, bring to the boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add a splash of water to thin the mixture if it is too thick.
- Spoon the pie filling into a large ovenproof dish or 4 individual pie dishes. Cut the filo pastry into strips, brush each with melted butter and scrunch up slightly, then place them on top of the filling to cover it.
- Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling-hot and the filo is crisp and golden brown. Serve with buttered mash.
