Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken breast
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 150 grams frozen peas
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 50 grams butter
• 30 grams all-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters chicken stock
• 100 milliliters milk
• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes. Finely chop the onion and the celery stalks.

Step 3

In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the flour.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until it begins to thicken.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using). Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.

Step 8

Pour the filling mixture into a deep pie dish and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 9

Unroll the puff pastry sheet and place it over the top of the pie dish. Trim any excess and press the edges to seal. Use a knife to make a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the pastry for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
