2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and green beans)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Crust:
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Prepare the Filling
Add the shredded chicken and mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring to combine. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour, cooking for 2 minutes.
Make the Creamy Sauce
Gradually add the chicken broth to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, cooking until the sauce thickens. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary, and season with salt and pepper.
Combine and Cool the Filling
Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking dish. Cut slits in the pastry for steam to escape.
Assemble the Pot Pie
Pour the filling into a greased baking dish and cover with the puff pastry, pressing down the edges to seal. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the Pot Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
