Step 1: Making the Shortcrust pastry
Add the flour and salt into the food processor. Add the flour and the butter cubes.

TIp: Butter should be chilled, which results in a better crumb in the pastry.
Step 2: Making the pie filling
Heat up 1 TBSP olive oil in a pan and add the diced chicken.
Saute until lightly browned. Place chicken aside.
2b: Heat 1 TBSP olive oil and add the leeks. Sweat of the leeks until soft.
2c: Add the garlic and saute for 5 more minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft.
