Vejledning

Pre-heat oven to 400F *or the temperature suggested on the packaged of your desired topping

Take out your frozen puff pastry to begin thawing

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat

Add onions, carrots, and celery - saute until onions are translucent

Push veggies to the side of the skillet and add chicken breast to the empty portion of the skillet

Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally so that all sides turn white

Sprinkle flour over cooked vegetables & stir to create a light roux - mix in the chickenAdd a splash of the chicken broth if needed - it will be thick!

Pour remainder of chicken broth + milk into skillet and stir until combined

Add seasoning + frozen peas - mix well

Bring to a simmer for ~5 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally

While filling is simmering, prepare puff pastry*I like to cut my puff pastry into 6 pieces to help with serving even portions.

Transfer filling into 9x13in baking dish. Top with puff pastry slices.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown
