Description
A delicious Chicken and Mushroom Puff Pie recipe that combines tender chicken, mushrooms, and peas in a creamy sauce, all encased in flaky puff pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish, pressing down gently to fit.
- Pour the chicken and mushroom mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork. 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 puffed.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, try incorporating fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary into the filling.
- Substitute the chicken with turkey or add different vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for a unique twist.
