Chicken Mushroom Pie

There’s something incredibly cozy about a classic chicken mushroom pie. It’s the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug on a chilly evening, hearty, rich, and deeply satisfying. With its creamy filling packed with chunks of tender chicken and slices of savory mushrooms, all wrapped in a golden, buttery crust, it’s no wonder this dish remains a favorite at family tables.

What sets this pie apart is the harmony of its ingredients. The mushrooms bring an earthy depth that complements the mild flavor of the chicken, while the creamy sauce binds everything together into a luxurious filling. Add a flaky pastry top, and you’ve got a dish that looks impressive but is surprisingly simple to make. Whether you use homemade pastry or store-bought, the result is equally delicious.

Chicken mushroom pie is incredibly versatile. It can be made in a traditional pie dish, in individual ramekins for personal servings, or even as a rustic pot pie with just a top crust. It’s also a great way to use up leftover roast chicken or that extra rotisserie bird sitting in the fridge. You can add in peas, carrots, or herbs like thyme and parsley to boost the flavor even more.

This dish is perfect for feeding a crowd or meal prepping for the week. Serve it with a crisp green salad or some roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. The pie holds up well in the fridge and reheats beautifully, making it a go-to for weeknight dinners or weekend comfort food.

There’s a nostalgic charm to chicken mushroom pie. It brings to mind home-cooked meals, Sunday dinners, and that irresistible smell of something savory baking in the oven. It’s the kind of dish that disappears quickly, with everyone coming back for seconds. If you’ve never tried making it from scratch, now’s the time, it’s easier than you think, and the reward is absolutely worth it.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cups chicken breast cooked and shredded
• 1 cup mushrooms sliced
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon salt to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
• 1 package puff pastry thawed
• 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they soften.
• Add the flour to the pan and stir until it combines with the butter, forming a roux.
• Slowly add the chicken stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to thicken.
• Add the cooked chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Roll out the puff pastry and line a pie dish with one of the sheets.
• Pour the chicken and mushroom filling into the pastry-lined dish.
• Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry. Seal the edges and make a few slits on top for steam to escape.
• Brush the top with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
