Becky says
You mentioned an egg wash but don’t explain how to do it.
Dina says
Hi Becky, egg wash is just 1 egg plus roughly about 1 Tbsp of water light beaten together.
Sheri Mason says
I don’t have a 390 degree setting on my oven. I have 325, 350, 375 and 400. What temperature do you suggest? New to cooking by the way😂
Dina says
Hi Sheri 🙂 Glad to hear you are new to cooking and giving it a try! If your oven doesn’t have any option of 390 degrees F then 400 will work. Your oven may show those temperatures but you may be able to turn the dial in between those numbers. Give that a try in case it works. Let me know how this recipes turns out. 🙂
Bonnie France says
Do you remove the center cut out before filling with chicken mixture?
Dina says
Hi Bonnie, you don’t remove the center. The weight of the mushroom filling will keep it from rising, while the edges rise after baking. I hope that helps.
Marilyn says
Hi I cannot find the puff pastry as shown in your image. Can you please suggest other alternatives.?
Thx

Dina says
Hi Marilyn, I am not too sure what the grocery stores in Canada have available. Since I am from the US it is hard for me to help with alternative brands. I hope that makes sense. Honestly, any brand of puff pastry should work 🙂
Ria says
Hi I don’t see how the puff pastry was prepared did you cut out cicles first then add the topping then place in the oven
Dina says
Hi, the puff pastry circles were actually pushed in that shape. If you look at the ingredient image at the top of the post, you can see what they look like on the package.
Nancy says
I’m assuming the chicken should be cooked ahead of time,
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Nancy 🙂 For this recipe, I used shredded chicken which was precooked. If you wanted to use the chicken you have at home then make sure it is cooked ahead of time. I hope that helps 🙂
Mike says
Why are they called mushroom puff pastry when there is more chicken in the recipe than mushrooms?
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Mike, this is an older recipe. It was just a name I gave it. But I totally see what you mean 🙂
