Chiken & Mushroom pie

Both me and my husband loves to eat pie's anything that has pastry into it is our kinda food and recently we found out that our little one is crazy about pie too :)
Because we love pie so much I decided to make my own chicken & mushroom pie the easy way :)
So here are the ingredients you will need :)

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 chicken breasts, skin and bone removed
  • 150g/5½oz button mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 50g/2oz butter
  • 2 tbsp plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 300ml/½ pint milk
  • 200ml/7fl oz chicken stock (you can use the chicken cubes and just pour hot water into it and you get your chicken stock)

    white pepper
  • pinch salt
  • dried / fresh parsley
  • 500g/1lb 2oz ready-made short-crust pastry ( If you dont have this then you can make your own pastry  and I usually use this recipe to make pastry dough from scratch)


Preparation Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the chicken and fry until the chicken begins to turn white.
  3. Add the mushrooms and continue to fry until the chicken is golden-brown.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. Mix the milk and stock together in a jug, then add 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.
  7. Stir in the dried/fresh  parsley and pour the sauce over the chicken and mushroom mixture. Mix well, then spoon into a pie dish and leave until completely cool.
  8. 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 .
  9. Take a fork and punch in some holes on the top of the pie allow steam to escape and then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden-brown on top.


And here is the end result of it ! yummylicious   Chicken & mushroom pie! :)

enjoy trying this recipe!
