Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large carrots, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (plus more if needed)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 13×18-inch sheet pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and cook until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture into the prepared sheet pan and spread evenly.
  6. Lightly dust a surface with flour and stack 2 sheets of puff pastry. Roll out into a 15-inch square, then cut the pastry into 1-inch strips. Repeat with the remaining sheets of puff pastry. You should have 30 strips in total.
  7. Arrange the puff pastry strips over the chicken mixture in a row, slightly overlapping to cover most of the filling. Trim any overhang as needed.
  8. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a little water and brush the egg wash over the puff pastry.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips

  • If your puff pastry is sticking, lightly flour your rolling pin and surface to make it easier to work with.
  • If you prefer a thicker filling, you can add a bit more flour to the mixture to reach your desired consistency.
  • For a golden, glossy finish, brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking.
