Ingredients

  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 cups Carrots, Chopped
  • 1 whole Raw Potato, Washed, Peeled And Diced
  • 1 cup Celery, Chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 Tablespoons Flour
  • 5 cups Chicken Stock (preferably Homemade)
  • 2 Tablespoons Spices (I Usually Use Italian Seasonings, But You Can Use Whatever You Have On Hand)
  • 2 cubes Chicken Bouillon, Or As Needed
  • 3 cups Cooked Chicken, Chopped
  • 1 cup Milk (or Half-and-Half)
  • 1 cup Peas
  • 2 whole Sheets Of Puff Pastry, Thawed
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten With One Tablespoon Water For Egg Wash

Method

  • Saute the onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes and celery in the olive oil until tender.
  • Add butter, whisk in flour and make a roux.
  • Add chicken stock, herbs, cooked chicken, milk and peas.
  • Once heated through, check seasonings and adjust accordingly (add bouillon, salt, pepper and herbs as necessary).
  • Continue to simmer, until the filling is about the same consistency as gravy.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll out puff pastry and cut to desired size (sometimes I use individual dishes, but this time I just used one 8x8 baking dish, one puff pastry sheet and froze the remaining filling and a pastry sheet for future use).
  • Spoon filling into the dishes, brush edges with egg wash, place puff pastry on top and pinch edges to seal.
  • Brush the top of pastry with egg wash (if desired, sprinkle sea salt and cracked pepper on top), cut three slits in the pastry and place on a baking sheet to catch drips.
  • Bake for 30 minutes to one hour (depending on size of pot pie) or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Enjoy!
