Chicken and mushroom pie
l Switch language for recipe in French l
I love the pies! So today, I propose a pie with chicken and Paris mushrooms. Of course, we’ll make our homemade dough and with organic products: flour and olive oil. We try to limit fat intake by modifying the basic recipe of the dough, lightening cream and avoiding to have a heavy hand on cheese! We serve this pie with a light salad of your choice such as a tomatoes salad from the garden!
