2 cups mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Crust:
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Prepare the Filling
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and mix well.
Make the Creamy Sauce
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, cooking until thickened. Stir in the dried thyme, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
Combine and Cool the Filling
Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and mushroom mixture, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking dish. Cut slits in the pastry for steam to escape.
Assemble the Pie
Pour the filling into a greased baking dish and cover with the puff pastry, pressing down the edges to seal. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
