Irresistible Magic Chicken Pie

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the onion and garlic until fragrant and softened.
Add the mushrooms: Cook for 3–4 minutes until tender.
Cook the chicken: Cut into bite-sized pieces, add to the skillet, and cook until no longer pink.
Thicken the filling: Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring well. Gradually add chicken broth and cook until the sauce begins to thicken (about 5 minutes).
Finish the sauce: Lower heat and stir in cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Assemble the pie:
- Roll out one crust and line a 9-inch pie dish.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Place the second crust on top, seal edges, and cut slits for steam.
- Brush with egg wash for a glossy finish.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
Cool & serve: Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Pro Tips

Variations

Swap chicken for turkey, ham, or a mix of vegetables.
