Chicken pie recipe with mushrooms and creamy mustard sauce

I wanted to make another pie this week. But with chicken this time and not with beef. (Have a look to the Beer-braised beef pot pie recipe! That was trully amazing.) Adrien quite like when I prepare such thing. Then he can bring it at work and he gets something special to eat during lunch break.

The problem with pie is that they are not always really healthy and do not have low calorific value. However if you want to make it lighter use soja cream instead of standard cream. That works and the taste is even better.
