Chicken, Mushroom, and Bacon Pie image

In 'Nigella Express' by Nigella Lawson; 12 chicken thighs seems like a lot for 2 servings; unless they are tiny thighs, you should use your judgment.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch strips
1 teaspoon garlic-infused oil
2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
12 boneless skinless chicken thighs, each cut into 2-3 inch pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/4 cups hot chicken stock
1 tablespoon marsala wine
1 sheet thawed frozen puff pastry (half a 17.2 oz. package)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Fry bacon strips in the oil until they begin to crisp; add in sliced mushrooms; soften them in the pan with the bacon.
  • Combine flour and thyme in a plastic freezer bag; add chicken thighs; toss to coat.
  • Melt butter in the pan (with the bacon/mushrooms); add in chicken thighs and all the flour left in the bag; stir around with the bacon and mushrooms until chicken begins to color, about 25 minutes.
  • Pour in the hot stock and Marsala, stirring to form a sauce; let this bubble for about 5 minutes.
  • Take two 1 1/4 cup pie pots (if yours are deeper, don't worry, there will simply be more space between the contents and the puff pastry top) and make a pastry rim for each one; an approximate 1/2-inch strip curled around the top of each pot; dampen the edges with a little water to make the pastry stick.
  • Cut a circle bigger than the top of each pie-pot for the lid; divide the chicken filling between the two.
  • Dampen the edges again and then pop on the top of each pie, sealing the edges with your fingers or the underneath of the prongs of a fork.
  • Cook the pies for about 20 minutes, turning them around halfway through cooking; once cooked, they should puff up magnificently.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken.

The filling of this pie was a little watery. I think I'll cook the chicken and vegetables a little longer next time.

This pie was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this pie. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other ingredients.

This pie was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out great.

This chicken, mushroom and bacon pie was a hit with my family! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
