Bacon, Mushrooms, Cream, Spinach & more in this Best EVER Chicken Pie

I Must have made this best ever Chicken Pie dozens of times over the years. I do not think I have ever tried another version, as this one is so good!

The pie is loaded with vegetables and the Mushrooms, especially, adds so much texture and taste to the dish.

This is just a total winning combination of flavors all in one comforting Chicken Pie.

Only a little bit of Bacon is added, but the flavor it brings to the pie, is absolutely to die for delicious and I am sure this recipe would become one of your favorites too.

When we have guests over for dinner, I like to make small individual servings in oven proof serving dishes.

Yuppiechef (not an affiliate, just loving their ranges) has a wonderful collection of different sizes, colors and shapes, or you could simply use plain ramekins.

I usually make the filling during the day and only need to cover the dish/es with the Puff-Pastry just before baking – 30 minutes later and dinner is on the table.
