Instructions
Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Remove the puff pastry from your fridge.
Bring a large saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the chicken and mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, then cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Peel and chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.
When your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.
Once the chicken has browned, add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, 30 secs.
Stir in the water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount), chicken stock paste, mustard and half the creme fraiche.
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 5-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Transfer the chicken and mushroom filling to an appropriately sized pie dish.
Cover with the puff pastry (see ingredients for amount), trimming off any excess. Press some of the pastry over the side of the dish if you can, or just sit it on top. Make a small hole in the middle - this allows the steam to escape. TIP: Brush the pastry with a little milk if you have some.
Bake the pie on the top shelf of your oven until golden brown, 15-20 mins.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.
Add the remaining creme fraiche and mash until smooth and velvety. Season with salt and pepper, then cover with a lid to keep warm.
Meanwhile, clean the (now empty) frying pan - you'll use it for the peas.
Once the pie is out of the oven, allow it to stand for 2-3 mins.
Meanwhile, pop the frying pan on medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the peas and stir-fry for 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Reheat your mash if necessary.
When ready, serve your ultimate chicken and mushroom pie on plates with the peas and creamy mash (reheat first if necessary) alongside. Enjoy!
