Roast chicken is probably my favourite roast. The bonus is that there’s usually enough left the next day to use the leftovers and make a pie. Most of the time I just make the filling and top with shop bought puff pastry. But what goes down better in this house is this garlic bread topped chicken ‘pie’ recipe.

We’re all big fans of garlic here (apologies to any of our friends who suffer smelling it on us even the next day!). Adding the garlic bread topping makes it more of a treat. Plus of course, adds great flavour.
If we’re going in with cooked chicken leftovers, you can also use leftover baguettes or french stick to make the garlic bread. It’s less hassle to use a couple of garlic bread baguettes (defrost first if frozen). But it tastes much nicer if you make your own bread topping.
You can adapt the chicken filling however you want. Creme fraiche works brilliantly but it’s usually cream I’ve got in the fridge, so I use double cream along with chicken stock.
It doesn’t need a lot of extra herbs because of the garlic. But we like a little tarragon added.
If you’ve not got much in the way of cooked chicken leftovers, you can bulk it out with veg. I tend to add some pancetta cubes (smoked takes good), or diced bacon, courgette, onions and peppers.

If you’re using already cooked chicken, it makes the filling so fast to cook.
You just need to fry off the onions and pancetta in some oil before adding the other veg.
Add in some chicken stock and reduce that down, then add the double cream.
Tip in the chicken and mix through, season then transfer to a pie dish.
Then you can add the topping.
Puff pastry is fine, but the garlic bread chunks just add something else.
If you’ve got ready made garlic bread, just chop it up into approximately 1 inch size pieces. Lay on top of the chicken filling,
I quite often use part baked baguettes, bake them, then chop and dip into melted butter and garlic. You could even top with a sprinkling of grated cheese for added flavour.

Tips for cooking this dish
Rotisserie chicken or leftover roast chicken is perfect for this dish. But if you only have raw chicken, fry off diced chicken in oil in a frying pan until just cooked through before adding the onions and other veg.
Replace the cream with 2-3 tbsp of creme fraiche
If you want a faster meal, just use garlic bread baguettes x2, chilled or at room temperature if frozen.
You can also use garlic granules or premade crushed garlic paste for the garlic butter if you prefer. You may find you need to make a second batch of garlic butter as needed.
