Golden Crust Comfort: Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pie

Serve with: A crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain crust texture.

Variations:
Herby Twist: Add thyme, rosemary, or tarragon to the sauce for aromatic flavor.

Cheesy Option: Mix in 1/4 cup grated parmesan or cheddar for a cheesier filling.

Vegetarian Swap: Omit chicken and add more mushrooms or diced potatoes.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use rotisserie chicken?
A: Yes, it’s a great shortcut. Just dice it and fold it into the filling.

Q: Can I freeze the pie?
A: You can freeze it before baking. Wrap tightly in plastic and foil, and bake from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes to the baking time.

Q: What type of mushrooms work best?
A: Button or cremini mushrooms are ideal, but feel free to use what you have — even a mix of wild mushrooms for deeper flavor.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Use plant-based butter and unsweetened oat or almond milk. The sauce will be lighter but still creamy.
