Description
A delightful dish featuring flaky puff pastry encasing a creamy mixture of chicken and mushrooms, perfect for cozy nights or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 100 g chicken boneless (cut in small cubes)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 200 g white mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp onion (chopped)
- 1/2 tsp crushed black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
- Salt (to taste)
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cooking cream
- Puff pastry sheets
- Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 2 tbsp milk)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the cubed chicken until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic and onion until they soften, around 2-3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Stir in flour, black pepper, Italian herbs, tarragon, and salt, mixing well.
- Gradually add cooking cream while stirring until the mixture thickens. Set the filling aside to cool.
- Cut rounds from the frozen puff pastry and place them on a baking tray.
- Use a smaller cutter to create rings for each base. Assemble by brushing the base rounds with egg wash, placing a ring on top, and pricking the base to prevent puffing.
- Chill the assembled pastries for at least 15 minutes to firm them up.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), then bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
For a creamier filling, consider adding mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Experiment with different herbs for enhanced flavor.
