For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 4-6 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound chicken sausage, casings removed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough just holds together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chicken sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish and press it gently into the bottom and up the sides.
- Spoon the chicken and cheese sausage mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to make the egg wash. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the remaining egg wash.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious chicken and cheese sausage pie!
