Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, diced boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season diced chicken with salt and pepper and sauté until cooked through (6-8 minutes).
  3. Add chopped carrots and celery to the skillet; cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and frozen peas for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; add thyme. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).

Keywords: For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs like rosemary. Swap chicken for turkey or use a vegetable medley for a vegetarian option. Ensure the filling cools slightly before topping with pastry to avoid sogginess.
