A rich, comforting, and incredibly easy chicken and mushroom pie! This dish is packed with tender chicken and buttery mushrooms, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry. It’s a cozy meal that comes together in under an hour!
For the Pie
- 2 refrigerated puff pastry sheets, thawed and rolled out
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)
- 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 black pepper
Make the Creamy Sauce:
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 6 tablespoons of butter.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in broth and milk, then add garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Once thickened and smooth, remove from heat.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
Add mushrooms and garlic, cooking for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly browned.
Stir in the chicken. Cook for another minute.
Pour in the cream of chicken sauce and mix well. Stir in the cheese.
Assemble the Pie:
Pour the chicken and mushroom mixture into the pie dish.
Place the second puff pastry sheet on top (it doesn’t need to cover the edges completely, just align the corners).
Brush the top with whisked egg.
- Cheese Choices: Medium or sharp cheddar works best, but any cheddar will do!
- Shortcut: If you’re short on time, store-bought cream of chicken soup can replace the homemade version.
