Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Chicken and mushroom pie is a British traditional dish, popular throughout the whole year, especially during the winter months, acting as comfort food keeping you warm. Chicken and mushroom pie tends to be rich and creamy with lots of flavour, made from puff pastry. Best eaten on the day of baking, although leftovers can be store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, reheating in a microwave.
