Did you know that it’s still British Pie week?
When following Slimming Worlds healthy eating plan with a few simple changes you can still eat pies and lose weight 🥧

🥧Easy chicken, ham and mushroom pies🥧

Super-tasty pies in three simple steps!

🍖🍗🥧Ingredients 🥧🍗🍖

⭐️500ml hot chicken stock
⭐️4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1.5cm pieces
⭐️2 onions, roughly chopped
⭐️1 garlic clove, finely chopped
⭐️2 carrots, cut into small cubes
⭐️200g green beans, chopped
⭐️200g button mushrooms (halved or quartered if large)
⭐️1 level tsp chicken gravy granules
⭐️2 tbsp tomato purée
⭐️450g can cooked lean ham, cut into small cubes
⭐️Handful of fresh tarragon, finely chopped
⭐️1 egg, lightly beaten
⭐️100g ready-rolled reduced-fat puff pastry

👩‍🍳Method 🧑‍🍳

⭐️Preheat your oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Put the stock, chicken, onions, garlic, carrots, beans and mushrooms in a pan and cook over a medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until the onions have softened and the chicken is cooked.

⭐️Add the gravy granules and tomato purée and stir well. Add the ham and tarragon, season lightly and stir again. Remove from the heat and transfer to 4 individual, lipped pie dishes.

⭐️Brush the lips of the dishes with some of the beaten egg. Cut the pastry into long, thin strips and divide equally between the pies, arranging in a lattice pattern. Brush the pastry with the remaining egg and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden.

🥧Top with mashed potato instead of pastry, if you prefer, for pies that are just ½ Syn each.

Did you know that the first week in March is national 🥧 pie week? Well you do now! You can still eat pies and lose weight whilst following Slimming World 😱

🤩Recipe of the week 🤩

🐓🥧Chicken and Leek pies 🐓🥧

🤩Ingredients 🤩

⭐️8 large skinless bone-in chicken thighs, visible fat removed
⭐️1 carrot, sliced
⭐️1 celery stick, sliced
⭐️2 bay leaves
⭐️2 large sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
⭐️2 large leeks, sliced
⭐️1 litre hot chicken stock
⭐️Low-calorie cooking spray
⭐️6 smoked back bacon rashers, visible fat removed, cut into small pieces
⭐️100g chilled ready rolled lighter puff pastry
⭐️1 medium egg, lightly beaten
⭐️1 tsp mustard powder
⭐️25g cornflour
⭐️200g sugar snap peas, halved, to serve
⭐️400g carrot batons, to serve
⭐️4 tbsp plain quark

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Put the chicken, carrot, celery, bay leaves, half the thyme leaves and half the leeks in a saucepan. Pour over the stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 minutes.

⭐️Preheat your oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas 7. Lift the chicken onto a plate and leave until cool enough to handle. Strain the chicken stock into a bowl, discarding the veg, bay leaves and herbs, then return the stock to the pan and boil until reduced to around 400ml.

⭐️Meanwhile, spray a non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and stir-fry the bacon and remaining leeks for 2-3 minutes.

⭐️Unroll the pastry and cut out 4 x 8cm squares. Place on a non-stick baking tray and score a lattice pattern into the pastry squares using a knife. Brush with the egg. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed up and golden.
Meanwhile, break up the chicken into small pieces, discarding the bones. Mix together the mustard powder and cornflour with 1 tbsp water, then stir into the chicken stock. Return to the heat and simmer for 1 minute until thickened. Stir in the chicken, leeks, bacon and remaining thyme leaves and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

⭐️Boil the sugar snap peas for 2-3 minutes and the carrots for 6-8 minutes until tender, then drain. Remove the chicken mixture from the heat, whisk in the quark and season lightly. Divide between 4 pie dishes and top each with a square of pastry. Serve hot with the veg.

5.5 swips per serving.

‘Two years ago, I thought I’d never make it. Today I’m 6st lighter and still here’ ❤️.

For Alex (polka_dot_cook on Instagram), reaching her target with Slimming World was about so much more than weight loss. It was about healing, growth and showing up for herself every single day – even when it got hard 🤗.
