- Cooking Method: Baking
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 45 minutes
- Cuisine Type: Comfort
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab your finest apron—this is gonna be fun!
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped onions, garlic, and diced potatoes. Sauté for another 5 minutes or until onions look like they’ve seen a ghost and turned translucent.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the veggies and chicken. Hello, instant magic trick—watch things thicken!
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid flour lumps (they’re party poopers).
- Add the heavy cream, peas, carrots, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer away until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the mix to an ovenproof dish. Feel free to strike a pose—you’ve earned it!
- Roll the thawed puff pastry over the top of your filling. Tuck the edges in like you’re tucking in your favorite bedtime story.
- Brush the pastry with the beaten egg, ensuring your potpie gets that golden tan in the oven.
- Cut a few slits in the pastry to let steam escape. Nobody likes a suffocating potpie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling like it’s got something to say.
- Let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist) before serving. Voilà!
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Substitute turkey or tofu for chicken. Add mushrooms for an earthy kick.
- Garnishing Options: Fresh parsley, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan, or a dash of paprika for color.
- Cooking Tips: Cool the filling slightly before adding puff pastry to prevent sogginess. Use a pie bird if you have one; they add charm and let steam escape better!
