The chicken was cooked off, then the bacon and leek, a sauce was made with chicken stock and flour then thyme was added. Parsley was also meant to be added but I had accidentally purchased coriander....it gets me every time.
I brought the mix down to room temperature over and hour then left the mix in the fridge for the flavours to intensify. Once suitably intensified I topped the mix with a sheet of puff pastry and popped it in a very hot oven.
Dinner was good. It probably could have done with some parsley but also could have done with some lessons from Buzz Feed:

I had always imagined a chicken and leek pie as a creamy pie - turns out this one was not. It was good and savoury and the chicken was excellently moist.
