What you’ll need
2 chicken breasts (about 500g)
2 handfuls sliced mushrooms
1 onion, diced
2 Tbsps oil or 50g butter
2 Tbsp plain flour
2 cups stock
good splosh of white wine (optional)
fresh herbs (parsley, basil, whatever you have going)
2 sheets puff pastry
1 egg and dash of milk
salt, pepper
Cut chicken breasts into large chunks, place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil then simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked right through. Cut into smaller cubes. Meanwhile saute onions and mushrooms in oil or butter. The recipe called for oil but as I started sauteeing I thought butter would be better!
Add in flour then whisk in the stock and wine (optional). Allow sauce to thicken, add herbs and season well. Then add in the chicken and combine well.
Butter up a pie dish/tart tin and place a sheet of your puff pastry in. Pour filling in and then top with the other sheet of puff pastry. Trim corners off and join the edges of the pastry together the whole way around. Brush with an egg wash of a beaten egg and a bit of milk. Bake in a preheated 190 degree oven for about 25 minutes, remove from the oven and enjoy.
YUM corrie. I will be making this one! Chicken Pie is my fave!
that’s such a nice thing to do to help someone out! and that chicken pie looks delicious!
I LOVE a good chicken pie Corrie… make it a curried chicken pie and it’s even better. But this looks great and what a wonderful lady you are to prepare this for a friend in need, beautiful. Thanks for sharing xo
sounds good, but what do you mean by 2 cups of stock?
I come along way with translating to dutch but this is quit confusing.
Love to give it a try
Sounds delicious – I can almost smell it! And it’s probably rather healthy. I’ll have to calculate out the weight watchers points per slice. Thanks for sharing! http://emmille.blogspot.com/
Just fyi – I did calculate and it’s 6 weight watchers points if you split it into 6 servings. Not bad!
im so hungry, that looks so good hmmmm!!!!

this is such a lovely site(:
Yum! It looks delicious and easy to make. Love a good CWA recipe.
That looks YUMMY!!!
Is this celcius or farenheit? I’m from the States.
The temperature is 375 F for those in the US. Chicken stock is made when you boil chicken bones, vegetables (carrot, onions etc)to make a broth or bouillon.
Got to love Chicken Pie. It’s always a favourite in our house! Never any leftovers.
Yum! What a thoughtful thing to do – I’m sure the other family will appreciate your wonderful talents. xx
I have never had chicken pie but that looks so yum! Will definately being giving it a go

Have just come across your Blog…..the pie looks very yummy think I may give it a try….and good work on the baby cardy!
Corrie I made the chicken pie and it was so yummy… the only thing I did differently was cook the chicken in a pan with butter and oil… I wanted all the flavour in the pan with the onion and mushrooms… hubby really really loved it… thank you for sharing xxx
Making this for dinner tonight
Do you need to let the filling cool before putting it in the pie?
Making this now :)))) added some Parmesan to it as we’ll hope it taste as good as it looks
Thanks for this – made similar a month back, and am doing again today. Rainy weather just screams pie, and baking. Added a bit of cream and sweetcorn last time and used filo sheets as it was the only pastry I had in the freezer. Delish! Many thanks
Thanks so much for this recipe Corrie! I saved it to my evernote when you first posted it and have been meaning to make it ever since. Well tonight I finally did!
I did more of a “throw it all together” kind of sauté style, and also added two red capsicums that needed using. It was delicious and the kids devoured it!
Just wondering if you can recommend any good cook books for basic dinners that feed a big family well, without being too fancy but still being nutritious. I want to ask for one in my Xmas wish list this year. I was thinking one of the TM ones, but also the CWA one or the Pioneer Woman one. Any recommendations you can share? Would love your input.
