Leftover roast chicken and leek pie

We always have loads of chicken leftover when we make a roast so I decided to use it to make this quick and easy pie. It’s a great way of getting some moisture back into the chicken too - I sometimes find it can be a little dry the day after roasting it.
I had leeks and kale in my weekly veg box. The great thing about them is they cook down well but this would be perfect with any vegetables really. If you use something harder like carrots or root veg, I’d suggest partially cooking it before adding it to the mix.
Also, you could substitute the mash topping for pastry but I like how the mash absorbs the yummy cooking juices.
