Chicken Tonight - Chicken and Mushroom Pie


Chicken and Mushroom Pie

This recipe is very close to my heart as it reminds me of when Bubba was born, it was the last thing I made on a Thursday evening before my waters broke at 3.00am on Friday morning. The last proper meal we ate as a couple before he was born and also what Mr S finished off for leftovers once he finally got home on Sunday afternoon. Now that Bubba is on solids I make the same for him, just
omit any salt which we add to it once at the table if needed.
Serves 2, plus a hungry 10 month old and some leftovers if you’re lucky.

Ingredients

1tsp Rapeseed Oil – or any flavourless oil you prefer to use
1 medium Onion – diced
1 large Leek – sliced in half washed thoroughly and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves – diced finely
350g Chicken breast – cubed
300g Mushrooms (My favourite is chestnut) cubed into quarters
1 tsp Paprika
½ tsp Garlic Salt
½ tsp Thyme (fresh if you have it otherwise dried is fine)
½ tsp Black Pepper
3 tbsp. Plain Flour
150ml Crème Fraiche
1 low salt Chicken Stock Cube
320g Puff Pastry ( I just use a ready-made version of this)
Milk/Egg wash
