Description
A comforting and delicious Golden Chicken and Mushroom Pie, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are soft.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes. If using, add the chopped parsley and mix well. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into two large pieces to fit your pie dish.
- Pour the chicken and mushroom filling into a pie dish and cover with one piece of puff pastry. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
- Add your favorite vegetables, such as carrots or corn, for extra flavor and nutrition.
