Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  • Add the mushrooms and fry until the chicken is golden-brown.
  • Set chicken and mushrooms aside, then soften the onion and garlic in the same pan for 3 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in flour, and cook for 3 minutes to form a smooth paste.
  • Whisk milk, stock, nutmeg, pepper, and salt into the flour mixture and simmer until thickened.
  • Stir in parsley, combine with chicken and mushrooms, then spoon into a dish and cool completely.
  • Roll out the pastry, cover the pie dish, trim the edges, and decorate with pastry leaves.
  • Brush the pastry with beaten egg, cut steam slits, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown.
