Directions
Prepare the Filling:
Heat olive oil and butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Add leeks, celery, and a pinch of salt; reduce to medium heat and cook for 10-12 minutes until soft and translucent.
Pour in wine, increase heat, and cook until reduced by two-thirds.
Add mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and chicken stock powder; cook 2 minutes more.
Remove from heat, fold in chicken and yogurt, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge.
Make the Pastry:
Mix flour, suet, and salt. Add water and mix with a knife to form a shaggy dough.
Gently knead until dough forms, adjusting with extra flour or water if needed.
Grease a large pie dish with butter.
Assemble the Pie:
Divide dough: roll two-thirds for the base and one-third for the lid.
Line pie dish with base and cover both pieces with plastic wrap; chill for 3 hours.
Fill base with chilled filling, top with lid, and chill for 2-3 hours more.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Brush pastry with egg wash, chill for 5 minutes, and brush again.
Bake for 60-80 minutes until golden, crisp, and bubbling at edges.
Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
