• • 8 slices bacon chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 ½ cups boneless, skinless chicken thighs chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus additional for seasoning chicken
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper plus additional for seasoning chicken
  • 1 pound baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 garlic cloves minced or grated
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated cheddar
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chopped sage leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary leaves
  • 1-2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg preferably freshly grated
  • 1 thawed puff pastry sheet
  • 1 egg whisked

  Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large, cold skillet, add bacon. Turn heat to medium and cook until crisp. Stir occasionally.
  • Using a slotted spoon, move bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Add chicken to bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on the outside. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken to another plate.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until browned, stirring only occasionally. If the skillet gets too dry, add a tablespoon or two of butter. Also remove from skillet.
  • Add ¼ cup butter to the skillet and melt. Whisk in the flour. Continuously whisk for about three minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Slowly pour in chicken stock and heavy cream. Whisk until the mixture smooths out. Add bacon, chicken and mushrooms back to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, cheddar, Parmesan, thyme, sage, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce and ground nutmeg. Keep stirring until the cheese melts. Turn off heat.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll the puff pastry so that it’s large enough to cover a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish. Pour the cream mixture into the baking dish. Place the puff pastry on top. Pinch the puff pastry so that it folds against the interior sides of the baking dish. Brush the whisked egg on the puff pastry using a pastry brush. You probably won’t need the entire egg.
  • Place in oven in the puff pastry is nice and brown to your liking and the cream mixture is bubbling on the side, about 20-25 minutes. Let set for about five minutes before serving. Enjoy!

  • Notes

    • About three chicken thighs typically gives me enough meat for 2 ½ cups.
