Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken breast
• 250 grams button mushrooms
• 50 grams butter
• 1 large onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 400 milliliters chicken stock
• 100 milliliters double cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Slice the mushrooms and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to turn white on the outside.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until they are softened.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and mushroom mixture, stirring well to coat and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, then add the double cream.

Step 8

Add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a floured surface. Cut out a piece large enough to cover your pie dish, leaving some extra for the edges.

Step 10

Fill the pie dish with the chicken and mushroom filling.

Step 11

Place the puff pastry lid on top of the filling, pressing gently at the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry.

Step 12

Beat the egg with the tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash.

Step 13

Make a small incision in the middle of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 14

Place the pie into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 15

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
