Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your 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 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. 4

   Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are browned.

5. 5

   Cut 2 pounds of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

6. 6

   Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes until no longer pink.

7. 7

   Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of heavy cream. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme. Stir well and let simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

8. 8

   Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes.

9. 9

   On a floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish and trim the edges.

10. 10

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

11. 11

    Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

12. 12

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

13. 13

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

    Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
