Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Melt most of the margarine or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the chicken meat to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
-
Incorporate the mushrooms into the skillet and cook for a few more minutes until they begin to soften.
-
Stir in the plain flour and cook for another few minutes, allowing it to combine with the chicken and mushrooms to form a roux-like consistency.
-
Gradually pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
-
Add the creme fraiche, coarse grain mustard, and dried tarragon to the skillet, stirring until everything is evenly distributed. Allow the mixture to heat through, ensuring it’s well seasoned to taste.
-
Transfer the creamy chicken mixture to an oven-proof dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Prepare the garlic butter by mixing the remaining margarine or butter with crushed garlic cloves.
-
Slice the bread into triangles and spread them lightly with the garlic butter.
-
Arrange the garlic bread triangles on top of the chicken mixture in the oven-proof dish, creating a rustic crust.
-
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden brown.
-
Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve slices of this delightful Crusty Chicken and Garlic Pie hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the savory goodness with your loved ones!
