chicken and mushroom pie

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIE

My mother requested for me to find a decent chicken and mushroom pie as she wants me to provide stocks for her bakery. I searched and try to make my own recipe based on the 5-6 recipe that I found. This is my recipe; of course you can adjust and make your own. 

Ingredient

pie crust

3 piece of boneless chicken breast (small cube)

500g button mushroom (sliced)

1 onion (sliced)

2-3 cups of chicken stock or 1 cube of chicken stock

3 tbs oil

2 tbs flour

1/2 cup cream

1 tbs thyme

a pinch of salt; or to taste

1/2 tbs black pepper or garlic pepper

water ( as needed)

gravy:

100 g butter

1/2 cup flour

1-2 cup of chicken stock or 1/2 cube of chicken stock

1/2 tbs thyme

salt and pepper to taste

Methods:

Heat the oil on a frying pan. Sear the cubed chicken. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Saute the onion until soft and slightly caramelized.

Add in the mushroom, saute until soft. Stir.

Add the thyme and black pepper. Stir.

Add the flour and let it cook for awhile. Stir.

Add water and chicken stock. Stir. 

Add salt.

Add cream and stir until smooth.

Prepare the pie crust, it is better to do a blind bake before putting in the filling. 

Cover, put on an egg wash and bake until golden. 

For the gravy; melt the butter in a pan, add flour, whisk until fully incorporated. Add thyme and black pepper. Add chicken stock. Add cream while whisking. Add salt to taste.
