Recipe information-Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pie
1 hour
Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, diced
- 250g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 400ml chicken stock
- 200ml double cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pack of puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the diced chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, then sprinkle in the thyme and flour. Stir until the flour has coated the vegetables and formed a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock and cream, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken, then add the cooked chicken back in. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the filling to a pie dish and cover it with puff pastry, crimping the edges to seal. Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, savoury goodness of this delightful dish.
