So I've got the most beautiful chicken and mushroom pie. Absolute comfort food. With
a little bit of spring onion and mustard. Delicious!
Get yourself a little knife. So these chicken breasts here, I'm gonna slice these into centimetre
slices. I've got a little enamel metal tin. Whack it on to a high a heat. Couple of lugs
of olive oil in there. Get your chicken, put it into your olive oil. Of course we wanna
hit that with some sea salt, little bit of cracked black pepper. Knob of butter in the
chicken. I've got some spring onions here. Slice up the spring onions as best as you
can. I'm not bothered. You know the great thing about these 30 minute meals recipes
- if you're rubbish with a knife, it's alright, if you're brilliant, it's alright. It don't
matter. Get yourself a little box grater, the fine attachment on one of these little
graters and you just want, you know, quarter of a nutmeg. One or two bay leaves. Just gonna
tear the stalk of these bay leaves and a little bit of thyme. And then we want mushrooms.
I've got about 150 grams or a kinda big handful of button mushrooms. You know, pick these
bad boys up. Get a slicer attachment on your processor and put them in.
Do you know what I mean?
So, mushrooms go in. I'm gonna now turn this into like a pie filling. One heaped
tablespoon on crème fraiche. In at this point is a heaped teaspoon of flour and then attitude,
a heaped teaspoon of mustard. And then one of these little tubs of pre-done chicken stock
if you haven't got any of your own of course. Or a stock cube and a bit of water. This is
about 300ml of stock and we just mix it up. And you've already got a beautiful, creamy
sauce. So, I'm gonna turn it down to low because I've got no rush now, I'm happy. Some puff
pastry. Buy it pre-done and then you just put that pastry on here. And tuck it into
bed and fold the pastry sort of back in on itself. I want it to glaze and look beautiful
so you can use milk or one egg. Just lightly brush this pastry on top. All looks very nice!
Let's get a bit of rosemary, stick it right in there. Right, in the oven that is cooked
when it looks cooked.
The pie I can see is done. Let's just move that over. Look at that.
Beautiful! I want that for dinner.
