Craving for pie!!!

Suddenly craving for chicken pie....
But dun feel like buying one from shops and its been a long time since I bake chicken pie to eat...

To satisfy my craving, I when marketing to get the ingredients. It's simple to put everything together..

Was also thinking about the crust, short crust pastry or puff pastry.. Home made or ready made for the puff pastry.

As I wanted to make it for breakfast and its already mid week. To cut the process short, bought a packet of puff pastry to make. Craving stronger and lack of time,
I jus use the store bought pastry.

Here is the ingredients for the method for the filling:

1 whole chicken drumstick( skinned & diced)
250g of mixed vegetables ( can be found in frozen section)
1 cup of heavy cream ( I use heavy whipped cream)
1/4 cup of milk
2 dsp of flour
1 med onion, chopped
3-4 shitakie fresh mushroom, diced
Salt and pepper

Method:
1) put some oil in the pan and fry the onions till it turn transparent. Put in the chicken and fry till cooked.

2) add in mushroom, mixed veggie and fry awhile and add milk and cream. Simmer a while and volia.... The filling is done. It's a versatile filling as it can be use for pasta as well.

Here is the end product. I feel that better to have the base using short crust pastry and the top puff pastry as the filling make the bottom soggy. Or I have to try cook it not so wet hm..... Will try to experiment again.
