How to make a Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Puff Pastry Pie:

  1. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and fry on a high heat in a little oil for 5 or so minutes until golden all over. You may have to do this in batches as you don’t want to crowd the pan. Set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the garlic, onion and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and fry for a few minutes until the onions begin to colour – around 4-5 minutes. You could also add/swap the onions and mushrooms for sliced leeks, celery or carrots.
  3. Add in 3 tablespoons of flour and stir through.
  4. Stir in the chicken stock, milk, cream and sweetcorn. You could also add/swap peas.
  5. Add the chicken and bring everything to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees/200 degrees fan.
  7. Pour the pie mixture into a pie or baking dish and allow to cool for around 10 minutes.
  8. Place the sheet of puff pastry over the top and press firmly down around the edges.
  9. Cut off any excess and brush with beaten egg.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry has risen and is dark golden.
