  This is really nice, I didnt change any of the recipe, but next time I do it I might do it with mushroooms rather than the leeks

  "Absolutly beautiful, i used mushrooms as suggested and it turned out very very tasty. I found the pastry topping very tricky, but managed to make a jig saw with the crumbling pastry and it turned out well. Served with carrotts and coly,broc and new potatoes"

  Nice but didnt think it needed the cheese in the pastry and would probably omit the watercress next time too.

  I cheated a little by using ready made puff pastry, which was much nicer than I would have made! I served the pie up with mashed potatoes (mixed with wholegrain mustard) and green peas- a lovely meal.

  I made this dish last night but did individual pies, I also didn't do a pastry topping but a mashed potato using creme fraiche and parmesan. Absolutely wonderful and very very simple to make. I also added mushrooms to the mix. Will definitely make this again and soon.

  The filling was absolutely delicious - I didn't make the pastry, I used ready made puff pastry. Will be making this filling regularly though.

  I really liked this pie although i did cheat a little on the pastry as I thought Id test out the middle before doing my own GF pastry. I used 2 wrapped packs of ready made shortcrust from Dietry Specials and then coated with a little milk. My second cheat was using Knorr stock pots - they are also GF and very quick - so this can all be made in very little time after work. The whole pie was lovely and when fed to my firmed he couldnt taste that it was GF! I really liked the watercress as thought as a bit different.

  Gorgeous. I used normal flour as I don't have to cook for a gluten-free household, but it was utterly delicious. Definitely making again!

  I cheated by using shop bought shortcrust pastry and it couldn't have been easier. The gravy in it is fantastic and will defo do again. Top marks for this one.

  Delicious! I have made it a couple of times - first with packaged puff pastry which was lovely, also just made it now with the pastry recommended above - found it easy to make, and roll and tasted divine (I didn't bother faffing around with cling film). I would definitely recommend throwing in a bit of white wine after the chicken and leeks (before the stock) and letting it reduce. Served with mash, peas and carrots, ooo its just so yummy. Also its easy to amend and make smaller pies - for instance we don't have a gluten free diet so used plain flour, I don't eat meat so used quorn and made two smaller pies - one veggie one meat.

  We tried this recipe this evening and it was delicious! The cheesy mustard pastry is very tasty - although I must admit I added some chopped garlic to the chicken mixture rather than creme fraiche and watercress. I has no complaints though!

  This was lovely! I've had many disasters with gluten free pastry but this worked really well. I'm guessing the cheese helps it stay together. I added mushrooms in addition to the rest of the ingredients. Really tasty. Will definitely be making this again!
