INGREDIENTS

CHICKEN & WILD MUSHROOM PIE:

  • 4 chicken breasts, cubed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 300g wild mushrooms (King oyster, shiitake, and shimenji)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 red onions, finely chopped
  • 5 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • Willow Creek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 cup of milk
  • Puff pastry (enough to cover the pie top)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

INSTRUCTIONS

CHICKEN & WILD MUSHROOM PIE

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  2. Marinate the chicken: Cube the chicken breasts and marinate with Willow Creek Extra Virgin Olive Oil spray. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated chicken cubes. After seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper, cook it until it becomes browned and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, lightly spray some more olive oil and sauté the garlic. Cook the onions until they become soft and translucent. Add the wild mushrooms and thyme, and cook until the mushrooms are tender.
  5. Make the Sauce: Add the butter to the mushroom mixture and let it melt. Add the flour and stir continuously for approximately 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken cubes back into the pan and mix well to combine with the mushroom sauce.
  7. Assemble the Pie. Transfer the chicken and mushroom mixture into a pie dish. Cover with the puff pastry, trimming any excess. Use a fork to crimp the edges, and make a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
  8. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  9. Serve: Let the pie cool slightly before serving.
