Description
A comforting and indulgent puff pastry pie filled with creamy mushrooms, tender chicken, and aromatic herbs, baked until golden and flaky. Perfect for cozy dinners or festive gatherings.
Ingredients
- Puff Pastry Sheets: 1 package (2 sheets)
- Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless): 500 grams
- White Mushrooms: 300 grams, sliced
- Heavy Cream: 1 cup
- Chicken Stock: 1/2 cup
- Garlic Cloves: 3, minced
- Onion: 1 medium, diced
- Fresh Thyme: 1 teaspoon
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- Egg: 1, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set your puff pastry out to thaw if frozen.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic, then add chicken pieces and cook until golden. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the cream and chicken stock, then simmer until thickened.
- Lightly grease your pie or baking dish. Unroll one puff pastry sheet and gently press it into the base and sides of the dish.
- Spoon the creamy filling into the pastry-lined dish. Top with the second pastry sheet. Trim excess and crimp edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top for steam to escape.
- Brush the top with beaten egg. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
- Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, ideally with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for contrast.
Notes
- Always sauté mushrooms until their moisture evaporates to concentrate their flavor.
- Chill your assembled pie for 15 minutes before baking to help the crust set up better.
- Cut steam vents in the top to prevent a soggy crust.
- Taste the filling before assembling to adjust the seasoning as needed.
