Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Chicken breast
- 250 grams White button mushrooms
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 200 milliliters Chicken stock
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Shallots
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Dice the chicken breast into 1 cm cubes and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides but not fully cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Finely chop the garlic, shallots, and parsley. Slice the mushrooms thinly.
In the same skillet, melt 30 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until softened and fragrant, around 2 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their water and softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh thyme and cooked chicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 30 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually add the milk and chicken stock to the roux, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until thickened into a smooth béchamel sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the béchamel sauce into the chicken and mushroom mixture. Stir in the chopped parsley and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and line a 9-inch pie dish with it. Trim any excess edges.
Fill the pastry with the cooled chicken and mushroom mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it on top of the filling. Trim excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the pastry for a golden finish. Cut a few small slits in the center to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Let the tourte rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
