Our Thermomix Chicken & Leek Pies are the perfect family dinner! Serve with mashed potato and steamed vegetables for an easy midweek meal.
When the weather cools down, it’s all about the pies in our house! And these Thermomix Chicken & Leek Pies are always a massive hit.
The creamy filling is packed with leek, bacon and chunks of chicken, while the crispy pastry tops it off perfectly. You can absolutely make your own pastry in the Thermomix instead, but I like to use puff pastry when I’m making these Thermomix Chicken, Bacon & Leek Pies during the week (think… a quick and easy dinner!!)
So if you’re after a family-friendly (and even toddler-approved!) dinner, then these Thermomix Chicken & Leek Pies are definitely for you!

Made this tonight with no changes. Absolutely delicious, really tasty, added no extra seasoning.
This looks and sounds delicious. I really like Leel Pies for easy weeknight dinners.

What do you mean by ‘speed soft’ please?
Hi Monica, it’s also the stirring speed on TM 5 and TM6 🙂
Absolutely divine in terms of taste, but even with the corn flour was too runny sadly 😊
