Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 5 Chicken Fillets
  • 150g Button Mushrooms (quartered)
  • 1 small Onion (chopped)
  • 1 Garlic Clove (finely chopped)
  • 50g Kerrygold Naturally Softer Irish Butter
  • 2 tbsp Plain Flour
  • 300ml Milk
  • 200ml Chicken Stock
  • Freshly grated Nutmeg (to taste)
  • Freshly ground White Pepper
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Handful fresh Parsley (chopped)
  • 500g Puff Pastry
  • 1 Egg (beaten)

Directions


Preheat the oven to 200°C or Gas 6

Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the chicken and fry until the chicken begins to turn white.

Add the mushrooms and continue to fry until the chicken is golden-brown.

Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the pan and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the same pan and fry for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Remove from the heat and set aside with the chicken and mushrooms.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for about three minutes stirring constantly until it has formed a thick smooth paste.

Mix the milk and stock together in a jug, then add the nutmeg, white pepper and salt to taste. Pour the liquid slowly into the flour mixture, whisking all the time until smooth. Simmer over a gentle heat, stirring constantly, for about five minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Stir in the chopped parsley and pour the sauce over the chicken and mushroom mixture. Mix well, then spoon into a pie dish and leave until completely cool.

Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is the thickness of a coin. Brush the edges of the pie dish with a beaten egg, lay the pastry on top, press down the edges and trim. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg and cut some leaf shapes out of the left-over pastry to decorate the top of the pie.

Make two or three slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden-brown on top.
