• 1 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Glaze:

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

To prepare pastry, in a medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour until coarse crumbs form. In a small bowl, beat together egg and water. Add to the flour mixture; mix lightly until a soft dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

To prepare filling, place chicken in a 2 qt. casserole. In a large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add mushrooms; increase the heat to medium high; and saute' until browned and the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the water; cook until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add mushroom mixture to chicken; stir to combine.

In a medium saucepan, whisk together cream, flour, paprika, salt, and pepper, over low heat; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in broth. Pour sauce over chicken mixture. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the pastry to fit the top of the casserole. Place on top of pie; trim and seal the edges. Roll out trimmings. Cut out leaves and flowers. Brush pastry with glaze; add the decorations; brush again with glaze.

Bake until filling is bubbly and crust is browned, 25-30 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
