A cozy, comforting dish packed with tender chicken, crispy bacon, buttery mushrooms, and melty cheddar cheese, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry. This easy homemade pie comes together in under an hour, making it perfect for a hearty family meal.
For the Pie:
- 2 refrigerated puff pastry sheets, thawed and rolled out
- 4 strips of Smoked turkey, cooked until crisp and chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup medium or sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 egg, whisked
For the Homemade Cream of Chicken:
- 6 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
Make the Cream of Chicken:
In a medium saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk.
Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, stirring until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Sauté mushrooms and minced garlic for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly browned.
Stir in the cooked chicken and bacon, then mix in the cream of chicken and shredded cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Pie:
Pour the chicken and mushroom mixture into the prepared pie dish.
Lay the second puff pastry sheet over the top. It doesn’t need to fully cover the edges—just align the corners with the bottom pastry.
Brush the top with the whisked egg for a golden, glossy crust.
Bake & Serve:
Place on the bottom rack of your oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Cheese Choices: Use your favorite cheddar—medium or sharp adds a great depth of flavor.
- Serving Idea: Pair with a crisp green salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
