  2. In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy. Set aside but leave the grease in the pan.
  3. Sauté the chopped onion in the same skillet until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, cooking until tender.
  4. Add shredded chicken, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the pre-made pie crust and spread evenly.
  6. Cover with the second pie crust, crimp edges to seal, and make slits on top to let steam escape.
  7. Brush the crust with beaten egg before baking.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
