Is there anything better than a warm, flaky pot pie on a cozy evening? Tender chicken and garden veggies in a rich, velvety cream sauce, all baked under a golden, buttery crust infused with fresh thyme. It makes your entire house smell incredible!
Here's what you need:
· Chicken
· Carrots
· Peas
· Puff pastry
· Cream
· Thyme
Procedure ⬇️
▪ Pull 1 sheet of puff pastry from the freezer to thaw on the counter for 30 minutes.
▪ Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
▪ Dice 1 onion, 3 carrots, and 3 celery stalks into 1⁄2-inch pieces.
▪ Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook for 8
minutes, until soft.
▪ Sprinkle 1/3 cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute.
▪ Slowly whisk in 11⁄2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a simmer until
thickened, about 5 minutes.
▪ Add 3 cups diced cooked chicken, 1 cup frozen peas, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, salt,
and pepper.
▪ Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie dish or four ramekins.
▪ Roll the puff pastry slightly to fit over the dish; trim the edges and cut 3 small slits in the
center to vent.
▪ Brush the pastry with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flaky salt and a few extra
thyme leaves.
▪ Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the pastry is deeply golden and you can see the filling
bubbling.
▪ Let rest for 5 minutes before serving — the filling is searing.
