Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Puff pastry
• 1.5 lb Chicken thighs
• 1 cup Rice
• 8 oz Mushrooms
• 3 Eggs
• 1 Onion
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1/2 cup Chicken stock

Steps

1. Roast the chicken thighs until cooked through; shred the meat and reserve the juices.
2. Cook the rice, saute the mushrooms with onion, and chop the hard-boiled eggs — three fillings, three bowls.
3. Roll out two pastry rounds; lay the larger in a deep pie dish.
4. Layer rice, chicken, mushrooms, and egg, dotting each layer with butter and a splash of stock.
5. Cap with the second round, crimp tightly, and cut a steam vent; brush with egg wash.
6. Bake at 375 degrees 40 minutes until deeply golden; rest 15 minutes before cutting wedges.
