Easy Chicken & Mushroom Pie!
We all go through fads and fazes, hubby announced only last night that he was going off fancy food! I was somewhat surprised as I would not regard myself as a fancy food cook, but heyho in the everyday life of a domestic goddess I guess one has to take delivery of such comments gracefully and move on! before I move on however I will mention that this comment came after he "played" with his Lamb Biryani and said that he didn't really like lamb biryani! My mind cast back to last week when I remember removing an empty plate after he had heartedly tucked into ....yes you've guessed Lamb Biryani! BUT as I say.....quickly moving on.........
so I decided to do a good old fashioned pie, chicken and mushroom to be precise, why? cos we had chicken and mushrooms in the fridge.
This is my recipe, I made it up for ease, and to be part of my cookery challenge!
Short crust pastry
Diced chicken
Mushrooms
Stock cubes
cup of milk
2 Tablespoons of flour
Seasoning
Cook chicken in a splash of oil.
Add stock cubes/stock and cook until chicken well coated.
Add mushrooms and milk.
Dissolve flour in a jug with a splash of cold water, gradually add in stock from pan.
Stir until thickens.
Leave to cool after seasoning
Line pie dish & bake blind for 10 minutes
Pour chicken filling into pie dish
Coat crust with water
Add pastry lid and trim edges.
Coat with beaten egg & cook 20 - 25 minutes in 180 oven.
We will be having this tonight, will let you know how it goes, but the tasting I did throughout was very favourable, let's see what the boss? thinks! lol!

I'll try that, we haven't had pie for ages. G is for Guten Appetit (that's German for enjoy your meal) :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds delicious! I'm going to try this one for sure! Have a great week!!

I'll take good old fashioned British (or home) cooking over restaurant food any day and chicken 'n mushroom pie? Mmmmm... :)
ReplyDeleteThat is something I have never tasted, but will be remedied the next time I come to the UK :-)
ReplyDeleteO Denise - I've just had my tea and now I'm feeling hungry again!
ReplyDeleteI must admit I'm a very plain eater, but that looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds delicious :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is so yummy!! ^_^

ReplyDeleteYummy

We've been searching for a good pot pie for ages. Don't know how to make one and all the premade ones are not that great. Must give yours a try, though. Sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteI'm rather fond of pot pies but think maybe I'll pass on the lamb biryani. Tasty post!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious, but give me briyani anytime! I just love spicy food. :p
ReplyDeleteHome cooking of any kind beats ready made.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a delicious recipe! Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Mrs. Nesbitt! In my house that would be fancy cooking for sure! It looks delicious! I hope you and your husband enjoyed it very much : )
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious. I must say , since I am definitely NOT a cook, I do get some inspiration from your recipes -- not always what you would expect, but some good ideas.
ReplyDeleteYou always make me hungry when you start writing your recipe. I will try it someday.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't think he'll have any complaints about that - it sounds delicious! Great G post:-)
ReplyDeleteHi Denise...actually, this receipe sounds easy enough for me to tackle. I bet it was delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat seems tasty....Better ask your husband to try Hyderabadi Biryani
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy. :) I can't think your husband would not agree.
ReplyDeletesounds very good
ReplyDeletehaha - he really does appreciate all that cooking - and I am sure it is well deserved. It looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to stop coming here - it's all too good!
ReplyDeleteI missed Wednesday! oh dear...
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!

Mmmm! I love chicken pie. But my family would never forgive me if I 'cheated' on the crust and only put pastry on top! They demand full top and bottom pies!
ReplyDeleteLove the biryani story. LOL!
That looks delish Denise, will try it soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've not dropped by recently, I've been having 'techy probs' with PC..
Hope all is good in Yorkshire.

Are you going to join Master Chef? I love watching the show. Now they have Master Chef New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteI am no master cook, but I like to watch people cook.
Sometimes Denise, you just can't win, can you? I totally recognise what you are talking about - when I serve up a new successful dish to the fam, experience has taught me to make it a rare treat on the table - or EXACTLY what you say is guarenteed to come next, "Mum, I don't like this anymore.." (Grrrr!)
ReplyDeleteThat pie looks delish.
Your chicken pie looks so yummy. I'm sure Jon will love it. Looks like homecooking at its best.
