Today I would like to share the easiest and quickest Chicken, Mushroom and Thyme Pie recipe with you guys. Friends, this recipe is an absolute winner, and you should seriously make this over the weekend, in fact, it is the perfect recipe for Sunday lunch. Yes. This Sunday.
Also, I have become a bit of a cheapskate the last few weeks. You see, the ingredients that you need for this delicious pie is pretty cheap and requires (almost) zero work. Yeah ok, I’m lazy…
This Chicken, Mushroom and Thyme Pie consists of cooked chicken or store bought rotisserie chicken or if you really want you could use your leftover roast chicken…combined with sauteed mushrooms, leeks, fresh thyme and smothered in a can (or two) cream of mushroom soup. Topped with buttery puff pastry, you have a delicious meal in no time.
I know, it’s very naughty of me to use tinned mushroom soup, and not make it all from scratch, but it just gives an easy quick solution for extra flavor and keeps the filling from drying out through baking.

You can add your own choice of ingredients like courgettes or spinach, or try and bake it in little individual pie dishes for a special meal. Anyhow, it still is damn good! Enjoy the weekend!
