3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
150 g button mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
300 ml milk
200 ml chicken stock (from a cube is fine)
2 tablespoons flour
50 g butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
fresh grated nutmeg
salt
1 ready to roll shortcrust pastry, rolled fairly thinly
beaten egg, to glaze

1
First heat the oil in a frying pan.
2
Add the chicken, cut into bite size but still chunky, pieces.
3
Stir-fry it until it is white all over, then add the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry until the chicken is golden in places and the mushrooms cooked.
4
Add the garlic, stir for 1 minute then turn out the heat.
5
In a separate, preferably nonstick, saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the flour.
6
Continue to stir for 3 minutes over a fairly low heat.
7
Mix together the stock and milk.
8
Pour this gradually onto the flour, whisking all the time to avoid lumps.
9
Allow to cook over a low heat for around 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
10
Add the parsley, season with salt and nutmeg.
11
If you find the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in a little extra stock or milk.
12
It should just coat the back of a spoon.
13
Now add this to the pan with the chicken and mushrooms, mix and then pour into a pie dish.
14
Top with the rolled out pastry- I like to decorate with mushroom shapes cut out of pastry scraps, and brush with beaten egg.
15
Now bake for 20-25 minutes in a hot oven, about 200u00b0C until golden brown and smelling delicious!
16
I like to serve this with steamed broccoli and buttered jersey new potatoes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
