Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 units Celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup Frozen green peas
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 1 unit Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, shredded chicken, peas, thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Transfer the filling into a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet and place it over the dish, trimming any excess edges. Press the edges to seal, and cut a few small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
