How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Chicken Pie At Home

Leave it to Gordon Ramsay to bring a new twist to even the most boring dishes. Gordon Ramsay’s chicken pie recipe is like no other. It consists of a chicken and vegetable sauce and baked puff pastry. But here’s the catch, the pie is kind of a deconstructed one. The sauce and the baked pastry are served separately.

The reason behind this, I believe, is to elevate individual flavors of the ingredients. The sauce is made from fall vegetables, chicken, pancetta, and cream. It has no ingredients that overpower the other flavors. You can taste the nutty and earthy flavors of the vegetables and the taste of the chicken. Combine this baked puff pastry and each bite becomes perfect. You also have more control over what you want in your bite. It is a small win, but it’s still a win.

This recipe is beautifully simple and absolutely delicious. I love the creamy and buttery sauce and the crispy pastry. I’ll tell you all about it below. Give me some of your time and you might learn a great new recipe today. Also, macaroons are different from macarons. Macaron is a meringue-based dessert that is filled with sweet cream or jam.

Don’t have leeks? Here is a list of leek substitutes for you. Macaroons, on the other hand, are crispy cakes made with coconut, eggs, and nuts. So, don’t confuse the two.

What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Chicken Pie?

  • Cooked Chicken- The reason we are using cooked chicken is that it’s easier. You can bake the chicken or just use some leftover chicken.
  • Pancetta- Pancetta adds a fatty richness to the sauce and the crispy bits are very welcome in every other bite.
  • Leek, Celeriac and Butternut Squash- These fall vegetables give a buttery texture and add a nutty and earthy taste to the sauce. 
  •  Puff Pastry and Plain Flour- The puff pastry makes the golden pie pastry and the flour is just to dust the surface before rolling the pastry dough. 
  • Olive Oil- Fry the vegetables in a dash of olive oil.
  • Dry Sherry and Chicken Stock- These two cooking liquids add taste and depth to the recipe.
  • Crème Fraîche- You can use heavy cream as well. It is just to make the sauce thicker and creamier. 
  • 1 Egg Yolk- Mix the egg yolk with a teaspoon of water to make the egg wash glaze for the pastry.
  • Thyme Leaves- A handful of thyme adds a herby taste and freshness to the sauce.
  • Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper- Seasoning! Seasoning! Season your food well, and it’s how it becomes tastier.

Steps To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Chicken Pie

1. Into The Frying Pan

In a dry and hot pan, cook the pancetta for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy. Then, take it out of the pan and place it on a kitchen paper-lined plate.

Wipe out the pan and heat some oil in it. Add the vegetables to it and saute them for a minute. Add thyme, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook them for about 6-7 minutes.

2. Sherry On Top

When the vegetables have softened, pour the sherry into the pan and boil it for 5 minutes. Then, add the pancetta and pour the chicken stock into the pan. Boil it for 10-15 minutes until it is reduced to half. Lastly, add the crème fraîche and cook the sauce for 5 minutes. When it is reduced to one-third, remove the pan from heat.

3. Puff Pastry Rock and Roll

Place the puff pastry on a flour-dusted surface and roll it to a 2.5 mm thickness and then cut 4 rounds of 6-inch diameter. Place the rounds on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 200°C. Then, bake them for 2 more minutes but with the oven door open.

4. Time For Some Pie

Warm up the sauce and add the cooked chicken to it. Then, transfer to a plate and serve with the pie pastries.
