Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet or Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Pie Dish or Oven-Safe Skillet
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded — tender, lean protein that soaks up creamy sauce
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (or crescent rolls) buttery, flaky topping for the pot pie
  • 2 tbsp butter adds richness and flavor
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour thickens the sauce without heaviness
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth adds savory depth
  • 0.5 cup milk or cream adds creaminess and body
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, and corn — colorful, hearty goodness
  • 0.5 small onion diced — adds gentle sweetness
  • 2 cloves garlic minced — adds warmth and depth
  • 0.5 tsp thyme adds subtle earthy aroma
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg beaten — for golden pastry finish
  • fresh parsley optional garnish for color and freshness

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Sauté onion and garlic in butter over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Add flour and whisk to form a smooth paste. Cook for 30 seconds to remove raw flour taste.
  • Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
  • Stir in milk, shredded chicken, vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  • Transfer filling to a pie dish or oven-safe skillet. Let cool slightly.
  • Lay puff pastry on top, sealing edges gently. Cut small slits for steam. Brush with beaten egg.
  • Bake 25–30 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed, and filling is bubbling at edges. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra protein, replace part of the milk with Greek yogurt. Let the filling cool before topping with pastry to prevent sogginess. Sprinkle a little sea salt over the egg-washed pastry for added flavor.
