Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

15 oz flaky shortcrust pastry
1 large egg (beaten)
1/3 cup olive oil
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups unsalted chicken stock
1 cup whole milk or unsweet almond milk
2 1/2 teaspoons dried tarragon leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground white pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup sweet peas (frozen)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 pound white mushrooms (sliced)
1 1/2 cup yellow onion (chopped)
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1/4 cup white wine
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped (white and dark meat)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add half of the mushrooms and cook until they are soft but not mushy, stirring frequently. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the onions until they are golden brown, stirring frequently. Lower the heat to medium once the onions begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the dried spices to the aromatics and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This will bring out the flavors of the herbs and spices.
  • Deglaze the pan to remove the brown fond from the bottom by pouring in the white wine. Use a wooden turner to scrape the fond off of the pan, adding more wine as needed. Spoon the aromatics into a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the flour to make a roux, and whisk constantly for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Slowly whisk in the stock and the milk, making sure the sauce is smooth, then bring it to a simmer. Cook until thickened, whisking frequently.
  • Turn the heat to low and stir in the cooked aromatics, mushrooms, chicken, and peas. Gently simmer for 10 minutes, then adjust seasonings to taste. Set aside the filling to cool and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and put a rimmed cookie sheet in to preheat.
  • Roll out half of the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface, then line a 9-inch pie plate with it. If you're using a pie bird, place it in the center of the pie, then add the filling around it. If not, simply spread the filling in the pastry-lined dish.
  • Brush the rim of pastry with beaten egg, then roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid. Place it on top of the pie, then cut off the excess pastry and crimp the edge to seal. Brush the top with beaten egg and cut a few vent holes.
  • Bake at 400°F for 40-45 minutes, or until well browned. Let it cool on a wire rack for 45 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
  • Cut in slices and serve hot with mashed potatoes and mushy peas.

Provided by Isabel Laessig

Categories     Main Dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups Plain Flour
1 tsp. Table Salt
9 Tbsp. Cold Butter ((4.5 oz))
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Cold Water
1 tbsp Fine Semolina (optional)
1 Egg (for the egg-wash)
4 Fresh Chicken Thighs
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. Table Salt
1 tsp. Garlic Powder (or crushed garlic)
1 cup Chicken Stock
1 dozen Small White Mushroom (about 9 oz)
1 cup Heavy Cream
2 tbsp Cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp. Curry Powder
1 tsp. Black Pepper Powder
1 tsp. Dried Thyme

Steps:

  • Place the Flour, Salt and Butter in the bowl of your food processor. Blend until it resemble thin sand or crumbs. Add the cold water and pulse until the dough starts to come together. (see note 1 to do without a food processor)
  • Transfer onto a lightly floured surface and assemble the dough in a ball. Cover with wrap and gently press on the dough to flatten it (this will help the pastry to chill more uniformly). Place in the fridge to chill.
  • Cut the Chicken Thighs in small pieces.Pour the Olive Oil in a large deep pan. Add the cut chicken thighs with the salt and garlic powder (or crushed garlic). Cook over medium heat. When the chicken pieces start to turn white, cover with the chicken stock and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, peal and slice the small white mushrooms then add them to the pan.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cornstarch and curry powder. Pour over the chicken and mushrooms with the dried thyme flakes. Whisk well and leave to simmer on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When the filling starts to thicken, taste and adjust the salt and spices if required. Add the black pepper powder, stir then remove from the heat and leave to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven on 350°F.
  • Take the shortcrust pastry out of the fridge. Cut it in two pieces, one about 2/3 of the dough and the other about 1/3 of the dough.Lightly flour your work surface and both sides of the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll into a large thin circle. Place in a deep pie pan.
  • Optional: sprinkle the thin semolina on the bottom of the pastry dough. This will help to absorb the juices of the filling and avoid for the bottom of the pie to be soaked.
  • Pour the Chicken and Mushroom Filling over the Pastry in the pie pan.
  • Roll the second piece of pastry dough and place over the pie filling. Gently fold the first pastry dough over the edges of the pastry lid to seal the pie. Use any leftover pastry to decorate your pie if desired. With a sharp knife, cut a small cross in the middle of the pastry to allow for any steam to come out of the pie while it bakes.
  • Whisk the Egg and brush it over the pie pastry.Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden-brown.Leave to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

COUNTRY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM POT PIE



Country Chicken and Mushroom Pot Pie image

A basic chicken and mushroom pot pie recipe.

Provided by djameela

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup boiling water
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 pint white button mushrooms, sliced
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup milk
¼ cup water
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (14 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie
1 large egg yolk, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine 1 cup boiling water and chicken bouillon in a liquid measure; set aside to dissolve.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add mushrooms; fry for about 3 minutes. Remove onion-mushroom mixture from the pot.
  • Add remaining butter to the pot with chicken pieces. Stir chicken and splash Worcestershire sauce over top. Cook, stirring continuously, until chicken is seared on all sides but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion-mushroom mixture, bouillon, and pepper.
  • Add milk and 1/4 cup water; boil for 20 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and boil for 10 more minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch oven-proof dish and lay down bottom crust in it. Set top crust aside.
  • After filling has boiled for 10 minutes, use a large ladle to scoop out approximately 1 cup sauce from the mixture and pour into a cup. Add cornstarch to the cup and stir until all lumps have dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture back to the pot; cook and stir until filling has thickened to your liking.
  • Bake bottom crust in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, add filling, and cover with the top crust, making sure the edges are sealed. Make cute decorations with pastry cut-offs and use a knife to make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Lightly paint egg yolk over the top crust.
  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Ovens vary so baking time may vary-keep an eye on it.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the pie. This will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from releasing too much water into the pie.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the pie. If you don't have homemade chicken broth, you can use a store-bought brand that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This savory chicken and mushroom pie is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and flavorful dish, give this chicken and mushroom pie a try!
