INSTRUCTIONS
PASTRY
FILLING
GLAZE
To prepare pastry, in a medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Using a
pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour until coarse crumbs form.
In a small bowl, beat together egg and water. Add to the flour mixture; mix
lightly until a soft dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap,
and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
To prepare the filling, place chicken in a 2-quart casserole.
In a large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add mushrooms; increase the
heat to medium-high; and saut. until browned and the liquid evaporates,
about 5 minutes. Add the wine; cook until almost evaporated, about 2
minutes. Add the mushroom mixture to chicken; stir to combine.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cream, flour, paprika, salt, and
pepper, over low heat; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in
broth. Pour sauce over chicken mixture Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the
pastry to fit the top of the casserole. Place on top of pie; trim and seal
the edges.
Roll out trimmings. Cut out leaves and flowers. Brush pastry with glaze;
add the decorations; brush again with glaze.
Bake until filling is bubbly and crust is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
Baking Tips: If using fresh rather than leftover or deli chicken, you will
need meat from a 3 1/2-pound fryer.
NOTES : 30 minutes preparation, 30 minutes chilling, 45 minutes baking.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
