Ingredients
For the shortcrust pastry:
- 400 g all purpose flour
- 200 g cold butter cut into chunks
- a pinch of salt
- 120 ml very cold water
For the chicken and mushroom filling:
- 400 g chicken breast cut into small cubes
- 300 g chestnut mushrooms sliced
- 2 medium leeks finely sliced
- 2 tablespoon butter softened
- 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 500 ml chicken stock
- 80 ml dry white wine
- 100 ml fresh double cream
- 3 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 egg + 2 tablespoons of water whisked together for brushing
Instructions
For the shortcrust pastry:
- In a food processor, add in the flour, butter, and a pinch of salt and pulse until the mixture is sandy-looking.
- Transfer the mixture into a large bowl. Knead quickly with your hands, while gently pouring cold water in, until the dough is compact, firm and elastic enough.
- Shape the dough into a rectangular, and wrap in plastic film. Let refrigerate for at least 40 min.
For the chicken and mushroom filling:
- In a very large skillet heat the olive oil, add the sliced leeks and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until crisp.
- Add the chicken, and cook on all sides for about 5 minutes, followed by the mushrooms. Pour the white wine in and season with salt and pepper. Allow the alcohol to evaporate, then pour ⅓ cup of chicken stock in, and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
- In a saucepan melt the butter and add the flour, stirring with a whisk.
- Pour in the remaining chicken stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Thicken the cream over low heat and then add it to the chicken.
- Add fresh thyme leaves and double cream, cook over low heat for about 5 min,until the filling has thicken enough.
For the chicken and mushroom pies:
- Roll out the refrigerated shortcrust pastry into ⅓ inch high sheet over a clean surface sprinkled with flour. Cut out 16 4-inches (10 cm) circles and use half of them to line 8 non-stick tart tins. Reserve the remaining pastry circles to top the pies.
- Pour 2-3 generous tablespoons of chicken&mushroom mixture into the center of each pie, forming a mound.
- Cover each pie with a remaining pastry circle to make a lid for the pies, pressing the edges gently to firmly adhere and prevent any leakage.
- Brush the pies with the egg and water mixture and sprinkle with a little sea salt.
- Bake in a preheated oven to 190 °C/375°F for about 50 minutes, until the pies are golden on top. Allow to rest 10 minutes outside the oven before serving.
