Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 1 medium Potato (peeled and diced)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet (thawed)
- 1 large Egg (beaten)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Boil the diced potato in a small pot of salted water for about 5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth (about 3-5 minutes).
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, and boiled potato to the skillet. Stir to combine and ensure everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Remove from heat.
Divide the filling evenly among four individual oven-safe ramekins or pour it into a single 9-inch pie dish.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly on a floured surface, then cut it into pieces slightly larger than the ramekin or pie dish openings.
Place the puff pastry pieces over the filling, pressing the edges down to seal. Use a knife to cut small slits in the pastry for ventilation.
Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
Place the ramekins or pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
