Add the pancetta and cook for a few minutes, until just. I love leeks cooked in any conceivable way and the pistachios add texture and work really well with the chicken. The other nice thing about ballotines is that they often come wrapped in smoky, salty pancetta or bacon, which not only add those wonderful flavours but help keep the moisture both by. This hearty chicken pie is perfect any day of the week. Flaky puff pastry encases a delicious filling made with chicken and leeks in a creamy sauce.
