Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/4 cups red burgundy wine
• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule (or 1 cube)
• 3/4 cup hot water
• salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 (17 1/4 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten

Recipe

• 1 in a large skillet, sauté onions in butter and oil over medium heat until soft.
• 2 add the mushrooms and garlic, and cook until soft.
• 3 cube the chicken breasts and add to the skillet; cook until pieces are browned on all sides.
• 4 stir in the thyme, then sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir again; add the wine.
• 5 add the chicken bouillon to the hot water and stir to dissolve, then stir into the chicken/vegetable mixture.
• 6 simmer uncovered for 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 7 transfer into a deep pie dish or a 2 quart casserole and set aside (there may be excess sauce- save it and cook it separately in a saucepan for gravy after the pie is done).
• 8 preheat the oven to 425 degrees f (220 degrees c).
• 9 roll out the puff pastry.
• 10 cut a 1/2-inch (1 cm) strip of pastry; brush the rim of the pie plate with warm water, arrange the pastry strip around the top edge of the pie dish, and gently press the pastry onto the rim.
• 11 brush the pastry edge with warm water; roll out remaining pastry large enough to cover the filling, place on top of the pre-placed edge, seal the edges well, and trim and crimp the edge.
• 12 brush the pastry with the beaten egg, and make a small decorative vent hole in the center of the top (if you like, you can use the pastry trimmings to make leaves and arrange them on top of the pie; don't forget to brush them with egg, too).
• 13 bake the pie in your preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is crisp and golden.
• 14 serve and enjoy!
• 15 makes 6 to 8 servings.
