Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 sheet Store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a 9-inch round pie dish or similar oven-safe baking dish.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly on a lightly floured surface, if necessary, to fit over the pie dish. Lay it over the filling, tucking in the edges.
Brush the top of the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
