Ingredients

  • Short crust pastry or 2 Sheets store brought shortcrust or puff pastry
  • Olive Oil
  • 4 Cloves garlic, crushed or finely diced
  • 1 leek, finely sliced
  • 200 g button mushrooms, sliced
  • 400 g chicken breast. Cooked and finely shredded
  • 2.5 - 3 Cup chicken stock, warm
  • 3/4 Cup milk
  • 1-2 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 egg + 1 Tbsp milk, beaten together

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 190°C, if not done already. Heat a dash of olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.

Step 2

2. Cook the garlic, mushrooms, and leak for 5 minutes. Add the chicken, stock, milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens (about 10 minutes). Leave to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to the pie dish.

Step 3

. Roll out half the pastry and press into the bottom of a greased pie dish (I used a 20 cm springform cake tin and it worked wonderfully).

Step 4

Roll out the other half/sheet of pastry and lay over top of the pie, brush with the egg wash and bake for 30 minutes, until the top is golden.
