Ingredients
350g
chicken thigh fillets, cut into roughly 2cm pieces
200g
chestnut mushrooms, halved and sliced
295g
tin condensed cream of mushroom soup, see GH TIP
100g
frozen peas
320g
sheet puff pastry, we used Jus-Rol
You will also need
1Tbsp.
oil
Directions
Step 1Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown all over. Empty into a bowl. Add the mushrooms and fry for 5min, or until tender and any liquid in the pan has evaporated.
Step 2Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Add the mushrooms to the chicken bowl and mix in the soup, peas and some seasoning. Empty into a roughly 1.7 litre ovenproof frying pan or serving dish.
Step 3Cover with the pastry sheet and crimp or press edges on to the dish to seal. Trim excess pastry. Cut a steam hole into the centre of the pastry. Cook in the oven for 30min, or until golden and bubbling. Serve with a green salad, if you like.
Using condensed milk here adds a boost of flavour. You can use a 400g tin of mushroom soup instead, but the pie sauce will be loose.
Sautéed leeks would also work well in place of the peas here.
