Serves: 6

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp rosemary
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 sheet puff pastry
1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in thyme and rosemary, then sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir constantly for 2 minutes.
5. Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
6. Return chicken to the skillet and add peas. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
7. Transfer the chicken mixture to a baking dish. Roll out puff pastry and place it over the top of the dish, trimming any excess.
8. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
9. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
