Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the mushrooms, mince the onion, and finely chop the garlic.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced chicken breasts and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic.
- Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add 3.5 tbsp of butter to the center.
- Once the butter is melted, stir in 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes a light roux.
- Gradually whisk in the 10 fl oz of milk and 1 cup of chicken broth until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add 1 tbsp of ground nutmeg and the fresh parsley.
- Stir everything together and let simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry.
- Line a pie dish with half of the puff pastry, making sure there is some overhang around the edges.
- Pour the chicken and mushroom filling into the pie dish.
- Cover with the remaining half of puff pastry, pressing the edges together to seal.
- Trim any excess pastry and create a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the puff pastry to create a golden, glossy finish.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice and enjoy your delicious chicken and mushroom pie!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of different types of mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello.
- Ensure the chicken breasts are fully cooked before mixing them with the mushroom sauce to avoid any undercooked poultry in your pie.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour to the mixture.
- Allow the filling to cool slightly before placing it in the pastry to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Brush the top of the puff pastry with a beaten egg to achieve a glossy, golden-brown finish.
- You can prepare the pie filling a day ahead and refrigerate it. Assemble the pie with the puff pastry just before baking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or carrots to the filling for added texture and flavor.
This chicken and mushroom pie is a delicious and satisfying meal that's sure to be a hit at any dinner table. With its flaky crust and creamy filling, it offers a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Serve it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete and nourishing meal. Enjoy your homemade chicken and mushroom pie!
