My CHEATING Wife's Chicken And Mushroom Pie With A Pie Bird

Описание: Full recipe in the description! I have the most epic chicken pie recipe for you all here. Well, it's not just a chicken pie recipe. It's full of chicken, mushrooms, leek, bacon, sweetcorn and all sorts of other wonderful things. All wrapped in the most golden, delicate shortcrust pastry imaginable. I like to make this for my harmonious family as we all sit around, really happily invested and committed to each other. The pie bird I'm using here always helps me get this fantastic, easy to make chicken pie right every time so there's no chance of me being 'pied' by my 'bird'.
