- flour

- shop‑bought filo pastry
- butter
- tarragon
- thyme
Instructions
- 1Sauté the sliced leeks in butter over medium heat until they wilt, seasoning with salt to taste.

- 5Lay out four sheets of shop‑bought filo pastry on a clean work surface, brushing each sheet lightly with melted butter and rotating each sheet for a decorative pattern.
- 6Place the prepared chicken filling onto the center of the layered pastry, then fold the pastry over the filling to enclose it, forming a pie shape.
- 7Sprinkle the chopped tarragon and thyme over the top of the assembled pie.
