The best laid plans



My plan was to use the 2 bits of chicken that The Consort told me was in the freezer so I looked up a recipe that used chicken and leeks and found just what I wanted. Went to the local shop to buy some pastry and a couple of additional bits of chicken but although they had frozen pastry, no chicken. No problem, I'll half what the recipe says and made a start. First problem was that the pastry was solid and I had no idea if it can be microwave defrosted. Second problem was that I assumed that the chicken was going to be breast pieces but turned out to be pre-prepared BBQ chicken and no good for the pie I wanted to make. So I abandoned the original plan, baked the BBQ chicken in the oven with leeks and potatoes and added a bit of salad. The Chicken and Leek pie would have to wait until next time.
