Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken thighs
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 1 medium onions
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 2 sheets puff pastry
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. 4

   Add 2 pounds of diced chicken thighs to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned.

5. 5

   Stir in 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.

6. 6

   Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

8. 8

   Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry on a floured surface. Place one sheet into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving some overhang.

9. 9

   Spoon the chicken and mushroom filling into the pastry-lined pie dish.

10. 10

    Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

11. 11

    Beat 1 large egg and brush it over the top of the pastry for a golden finish.

12. 12

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

13. 13

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
