Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until softened.
  2. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and become golden brown.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Stir in the cooked chicken and remove the skillet from the heat.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line a pie dish with it. Pour the chicken and mushroom filling into the pastry-lined dish.
  9. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
  10. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish.
  11. Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  12. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  13. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
