purplecat: Mix of courgette, chicken and rosemary (General:Food)
Crossposted to [community profile] cookbook_challenge.

I realise that this page of Mum's recipe book contains no less than four chicken recipes, all in the same font and cut from a magazine. I hypothesise some kind of "things to do with chicken" article. The jury is still out on whether I'll attempt the other two - a tagine and a slightly tame looking Thai poached chicken. Anyway, Chicken and Mushroom pie is a classic, so I thought I might as well.

Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I didn't have any shredded cooked chicken thigh meat to hand so I diced some chicken thighs and fried them first. I was very suspicious of the lack of any seasoning beyond two rosemary sprigs and so added a pinch of salt and a generous grinding of pepper to the mixture before I put it in the pie dish.

Verdict
The puff pastry didn't really puff, but I suspect that isn't necessarily the recipe's fault but more, perhaps, a comment on the quality of ready-rolled puff pastry - or possibly I took it out of the fridge too soon. Otherwise this was perfectly nice and very decorative. Will make again.
