Recipe for Lilydale Chicken and Mushroom Pie:

Serves 6
Cooking and Preparation Time:
45 minutes
Ingredients:
1 packet Lilydale Chicken Thigh Fillets, diced into 3cm cubes - I used 4 chicken thighs
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 onion, chopped
1/2 leek, white part only, chopped
200g field or Swiss brown mushrooms, chopped - I used 1.5 pounds sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon mixed herbs (thyme, sage, parsley, rosemary & chives)
60 ml white wine -I didn't use this - didn't have any
3/4 cup pouring cream - heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
Sea salt and black pepper
1 egg, whisked with 2 tablespoons milk
Method:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2) Combine the chicken, flour, paprika, salt and pepper in a bag, close and shake so all of the flour and seasonings coat the chicken.

I have say, while cooking the aroma was amazing with all the different spices; and the taste was amazing. This is a must save recipe.

3) Heat oil in a large frying pan on high. Add the chicken and fry until browned. Remove and set aside.

4) Add onion and leek to the pan, stir until lightly browned, then remove from pan.

5) Add the mushrooms and herbs to the pan stir until softened, then remove from pan.

I didn't remove the leeks or onions; just added the mushrooms to it.

6) Add wine and cream to the pan and bring to boil. Cook for one minute or until reduced and beginning to thicken.

7) Return the chicken, onions, leeks and mushrooms to the cream. Add the stock, bring to the boil and cook over low heat for three minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened. I used my kitchen scissors to cut up my chicken. Allow to cool.
8) Spoon the chicken into six small heat-proof ramekins or pie dishes.

 Cut the pastry into circles a little larger than the dishes. I used a bigger size ramekin dish. Brush the edges with some of the egg mixture and lay over the ramekins, pressing down the edges to ensure the seal is tight.

I used my clean hands to press down on the sides.

9) Brush the top of the pie with egg and bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

These turned out so scrumptious, it just melts in your mouth.
