Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Report
Chicken and Mushroom Pie, a delicious family-favourite dinner recipe that best describes what comfort food is all about. The filling is smothered in a creamy white sauce to create a fantastic dish that is so much better than the ready-made one. Top it with puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, and you get a dish fit for a king.

Instructions
- Dice the chicken breasts, and season them with salt and pepper.
- Heat up one tablespoon of oil in a large pan, and lightly brown the chicken pieces, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining oil and butter, and fry the onions until golden.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic, and fry until all the moisture is released and they have a light brown colour.
- Add the chicken pieces back to the pan, pour over the chicken stock, milk and spinach.
- In a bowl, combine cornflour with 2-3 tablespoons of cold water to get a lump-free mixture, and pour it over the chicken filling, then stir until the liquid in the pan thickens into a sauce.
- Season well with salt and pepper, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Transfer the chicken mixture to an oven-proof dish, then brush the edges of the pan with beaten egg.
- Roll over the puff pastry, removing the excess pastry from around the dish.
- Brush the top with egg and bake for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
