Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked, shredded chicken
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet (thawed)
• 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Steam the broccoli florets until they are tender yet still crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is fully melted into the sauce.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken and steamed broccoli to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Transfer the chicken and broccoli mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Gently place the puff pastry sheet over the top of the pie dish, trimming any excess pastry around the edges. Press the edges to seal.

Step 9

Brush the beaten egg over the puff pastry to create a golden, shiny crust.

Step 10

Cut small slits in the top of the puff pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

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