Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 sheets of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the mushrooms, onions, and garlic until softened.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce thicken.
- Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce is creamy and thickened.
- Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to coat it with the creamy mushroom sauce. Remove from heat.
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line a pie dish with it. Pour the creamy chicken and mushroom mixture into the pastry-lined dish.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
The history of Chicken Pie with creamy mushroom sauce dates back to medieval Europe, where savory pies were a popular way to encase and preserve meats. The addition of creamy mushroom sauce to the traditional chicken pie brings a rich and earthy flavor to the dish, elevating it to a new level of indulgence. In modern times, this delectable dish has become a staple in many households and is often featured on restaurant menus, especially in regions known for their culinary expertise such as France and Italy. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay have popularized their own versions of this classic comfort food, adding their unique twists to the creamy mushroom sauce. For the best version of this dish, look for a restaurant or chef that uses fresh, high-quality ingredients for both the chicken filling and the creamy mushroom sauce. The key to getting this dish right lies in the balance of flavors and textures, as well as achieving the perfect flaky crust for the pie.
