Ingredients for slow cooker chicken mushroom pie filling
250ml white wine
2 tablespoons of plain flour
Salt and pepper
Stock cube or stock pot
400g chicken breast
1 teaspoon of thyme, tarragon or rosemary
1 tin of sliced mushrooms or 300g fresh mushrooms
20g butter
50g frozen filo pastry sheets
Method for slow cooker chicken mushroom pie filling
Whisk together 250ml of white wine, 2 tablespoons of plain flour and salt and pepper. Either whisk it in a jug, to help with measuring out the wine, or directly in to your slow cooker pot to save yourself a little effort, and washing up.
Add your chicken.
Add your mushrooms. Crumble in a stock cube or add a stock pot. Add a little thyme, tarragon or rosemary depending on your preferred flavour. I find tarragon works really well and often used dried for convenience.
Slow cook on low for 8+ hours. I cooked ours overnight, for 10 hours, and it was lovely and flaky.
If you want to keep larger chunks of chicken then used diced chicken and cook for 4-5 hours on low or 3 hours on high.
Pour into a pie tin. Melt your butter. Dip your filo pastry sheets in and then lay on top of the slow cooker chicken mushroom pie filling.
Cook at gas mark 5 (190C) for 25-30 minutes. As soon as the top is golden brown it is ready for serving.
ALL of the slow cooker recipes on this website have been cooked using a Ninja Foodi OL750UK, or a previous Ninja multi-cooker model, but you can use ANY slow cooker, as timings should be very similar.

This sounds/looks delicious! Laughing at "if you're the type of person who has leftover wine" I'm definitely not that person! X

This sounds fab. And chicken and mushroom pie is something I love but I have never made it myself!
I will let you know how it turns out... one of these days.
Lovely! Enjoy x
Loved it, the only thing is I’d of liked the sauce a bit thicker so I think next time I’ll use a little less wine.
Thanks so much for your feedback, much appreciated!
