Which herb for chicken and leek pie?

Rarar · 02/04/2023 16:25

Not really following a recipe so just wondered what people think goes well? I'm doing leftover chicken and ham, softened leeks and a basic white sauce so just after something to jazz it up a bit.

I like thyme

Icelolly999 · 02/04/2023 16:26

Thyme

Hazelnuttella · 02/04/2023 16:26

I’d go for a bit of sage personally. Underrated.

Lulu2171 · 02/04/2023 16:26

Garlic

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 02/04/2023 16:26

I usually put oregano with chicken.

QueenOfThorns · 02/04/2023 16:26

Maybe tarragon

LadyPenelope68 · 02/04/2023 16:26

I’d go for Thyme with chicken, nice delicate flavour that won’t overpower

BitOutOfPractice · 02/04/2023 16:26

Tarragon if you like it. God I want a chicken pie now. Save me half a slice please

Wildernesstips · 02/04/2023 16:26

I usually go for tarragon. I also like to add a bit of wholegrain mustard too.

medianewbie · 02/04/2023 16:26

Tarragon.

CSPS2019 · 02/04/2023 16:27

Another vote for Tarragon

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 02/04/2023 16:27

Dill

HungryMum101 · 02/04/2023 16:27

Tarragon, if you can get some. Otherwise parsley.

Rumpleforeskinz · 02/04/2023 16:27

Tarragon for sure

MrsR87 · 02/04/2023 16:27

I’d go tarragon. But if you’re not a fan, thyme or sage or both.

Quinque · 02/04/2023 16:50

Tarragon goes really well with chicken.

ChrisPPancake · 02/04/2023 16:51

I usually go for tarragon with chicken but without leeks. With leeks probably thyme.

JerseyRoyals · 02/04/2023 16:52

Tarragon all the way. :)

Yum.

Crumpetdisappointment · 02/04/2023 16:53

i would probably do parsley and thyme

merryhouse · 02/04/2023 16:54

I thought tarragon, then I saw you were putting ham in.

Oregano.

Favouritefruits · 02/04/2023 16:55

Definitely tarragon

piedbeauty · 02/04/2023 17:17

Tarragon and garlic

Verite1 · 02/04/2023 17:19

def tarragon. If not - thyme. Not sage though 🤮

FredaFox · 02/04/2023 17:25

I'd go tarragon or oregano

AdaColeman · 02/04/2023 17:26

Thyme, and some freshly grated nutmeg in the white sauce will help develop the flavour of the leeks. I always add a good splash of Noilly Prat to white sauce too.
