Chicken and Mushroom Pie Recipe is what we’ll be taking a look at today. This will give you a lot of tasty, flaky goodness in your oven at home.
Ingredients for Chicken and Mushroom Pie
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 skinless boneless chicken thighs
- 8 thin slices of bacon, cut into large pieces
- 1 onion, halved and sliced
- 250g small mushrooms for chicken and mushroom pie
- handful of thyme sprigs
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 400ml chicken stock
- 200ml milk
- 500g pack fresh puff pastry, or frozen and defrosted
- 1 egg, beaten
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan or cast-iron skillet for making the chicken and mushroom pie. Season the chicken thighs and fry for 5-8 mins until golden brown, turning occasionally. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your pan.
STEP 2
Lift the chicken onto a plate and tip the bacon pieces into the pan. Fry for 5 mins until crisp. Add the onion, mushrooms and thyme sprigs, then fry on a high heat for another 3 mins until the onions start to color. Tip the flour into the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 min.
STEP 3 for Chicken and Mushroom Pie
With the pan off the heat, gradually stir or whisk in the chicken stock, followed by the milk, then add the chicken back to the pan.
STEP 4
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins. Spoon the filling into a large pie or baking dish (approx 20 x 30cm) with a lip and leave to cool.
STEP 5
Heat the oven to 430 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll the pastry to the thickness of 1/4 inch thick. Cut a long strip as wide as the rim of the pie dish and, using a little of the beaten egg, fix to the edge of the pie dish.
Brush with beaten egg, then lift the rest of the pastry over the pie, using the rolling pin to help. Gently press the edges with your fingers and trim with a sharp knife.
STEP 6 for Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Brush lightly with egg to glaze, then bake for 30 mins or until the Chicken and Mushroom Pie is risen and dark golden brown.
