Chicken Mushroom Pie Recipes

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIE WITH SHORTCRUST PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the chicken and fry until the chicken begins to turn white.
• Add the mushrooms and continue to fry until the chicken is golden-brown.
• Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the pan and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the same pan and fry for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Remove from the heat and set aside with the chicken and mushrooms.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for about three minutes, stirring constantly until it has formed a thick smooth paste (this is called a roux).
• Mix the milk and stock together in a jug, then add the nutmeg, white pepper and salt, to taste. Pour the liquid slowly into the flour mixture, whisking all the time until smooth. Simmer over a gentle heat, stirring constantly, for about five minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
• Stir in the chopped parsley and pour the sauce over the chicken and mushroom mixture. Mix well, then spoon into a pie dish and leave until completely cool.
• Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is the thickness of a pound coin. Brush the edges of the pie dish with beaten egg, lay the pastry on top, press down the edges and trim. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg and cut some leaf shapes out of the left-over pastry to decorate the top of the pie.
• Make two or three slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape and then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden-brown on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a round pie dish. Gently pat one sheet of puff pastry into the greased pie dish. Set aside.
• Prepare the homemade cream of chicken by melting 6 tablespoons butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in broth and milk. Stir in salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Once thickened and smooth, remove from heat.
• In a large skillet melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in mushrooms and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes til garlic is fragrant and mushrooms begin to brown.
• Stir in chicken and bacon for 1 minute, then stir in cream of chicken and cheddar cheese.
• Transfer mushroom and chicken mixture to your pie dish. Cover with remaining sheet of puff pastry (it doesn't have to cover all the edge of the pie dish, just line up the corners with the corners of the bottom puff pastry sheet).
• Brush whisked egg all over the top crust.
• Bake on bottom rack for 25 minutes til crust is puffed and golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
