Creamy chicken and mushroom pie


There is nothing better than a warm, comforting chicken pie to look forward to. Make your own with this recipe and share it with family and friends.

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 chicken breasts roasted or small chicken roasted
  • 25 g butter
  • 2 bunches of spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 250 g mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 250 ml milk
  • 125 ml-250 ml cream
  • 1 tbsp chopped origanum 
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 2 rolls puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oven to 200 C. Tear the chicken flesh into pieces. Heat the butter in a large pan/wok and add the spring onions and garlic. Cook them for a few minutes until they are soft. Add the mushrooms and add salt and pepper and cook them until they turn a nice light brown colour. Next add the flour and cook for another minute, then gradually add the milk until it is mixed. Add the cream and simmer until the sauce thickens. Stir in the chicken, origanum and thyme.

Butter a round, oval or rectangular dish. Roll out the pasty into the dish and press the pastry down and trim excess pastry off the edges of the dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the dish. Roll the other pasty over the top off the mixture and trim excess pastry. Press the edges of the pasty on the dish down with a fork. Poke holes with the fork all over the pie to let the steam out. Brush egg over the top. Bake the pie for about 20-25 mins or until the pastry is crisp and golden brown.
