Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams white button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 350 milliliters chicken stock
• 100 milliliters double cream (heavy cream)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 1 piece large egg, lightly beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet, allow to cool slightly, and shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Continue to cook, allowing the mixture to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the cream, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and mix thoroughly. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the chicken and mushroom filling into a baking dish.

Step 10

Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it over the filling, trimming any excess dough. Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork for a decorative touch.

Step 11

Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish when baking.

Step 12

Cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Mushroom Puff Pie!
