Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 300 grams Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Chicken stock
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 1 medium Carrot (diced)
- 100 grams Frozen peas
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the butter and melt it completely. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken, peas, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 3 equal rectangles (or shapes of your choice).
Spoon the chicken filling onto one side of each pastry piece, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the pastry over to cover the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Place the pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Using a sharp knife, make small slits on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the pies rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
