1) To prepare pastry, in a medium bowl, mix together four and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour until coarse crumbs form.
2) 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.
3) To prepare the filling, place chicken in a 2-quart casserole.
4) In large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add msuhrooms; increase the heat to medium high; and saute until browned and the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the wine; cook until almost evaporated, about 2
minutes. Add mushrooms mixture to chicken; stir to combine.
5) 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.
6) Preheat oven to 400F.
7) 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 the pie; trim and seal the edges.
8) Roll out trimmings. Cut out leaves and flowers. Brush pastry with
glaze; add the decorations; brush again with glaze.
9) Bake until filling is bubbly and crust is browned, 25-30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
