Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup boiling water
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 pint white button mushrooms, sliced
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup milk
¼ cup water
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (14 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie
1 large egg yolk, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine 1 cup boiling water and chicken bouillon in a liquid measure; set aside to dissolve.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add mushrooms; fry for about 3 minutes. Remove onion-mushroom mixture from the pot.
  • Add remaining butter to the pot with chicken pieces. Stir chicken and splash Worcestershire sauce over top. Cook, stirring continuously, until chicken is seared on all sides but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion-mushroom mixture, bouillon, and pepper.
  • Add milk and 1/4 cup water; boil for 20 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and boil for 10 more minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch oven-proof dish and lay down bottom crust in it. Set top crust aside.
  • After filling has boiled for 10 minutes, use a large ladle to scoop out approximately 1 cup sauce from the mixture and pour into a cup. Add cornstarch to the cup and stir until all lumps have dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture back to the pot; cook and stir until filling has thickened to your liking.
  • Bake bottom crust in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, add filling, and cover with the top crust, making sure the edges are sealed. Make cute decorations with pastry cut-offs and use a knife to make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Lightly paint egg yolk over the top crust.
  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Ovens vary so baking time may vary-keep an eye on it.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 ½ pounds baby bella (crimini) mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup chopped sweet onion
½ lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
⅓ cup Marsala wine
2 tablespoons half-and-half
salt and pepper to taste
1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-fat cooking spray.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and onions, stirring occasionally, until liquid from the mushrooms has cooked down, about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and thyme and simmer 2 minutes.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a separate saucepan. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Gradually add the Swanson® Chicken Broth, Marsala, and half-and-half, whisking until sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3 minutes. The sauce should be very thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the mushroom mixture to the sauce broth/Marsala mixture; stir well.
  • Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit the pie plate. Press evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate; trim the excess pastry. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the pastry shell.
  • Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry, and place on top. Trim excess, and crimp the edge to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and mushroom mixture is bubbly, about 40 minutes. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
