Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Add mushrooms and cook until browned. Stir in diced chicken and cook until lightly golden and cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over chicken and mushrooms. Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture thickens. Add Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Pie: Transfer the filling to a pie dish. Cover with puff pastry, trim the edges, and crimp them to seal. Cut a small slit in the center for steam to escape.
- Bake the Pie: Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add extra veggies like spinach, peas, or carrots for more nutrition.
Make individual-sized pies by using ramekins for a fun twist.
For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and use dairy-free puff pastry.
Make the filling ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before assembling the pie.
