Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 medium, diced carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.33 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 sheet, thawed store-bought puff pastry sheet
• 1 large (for egg wash) egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. Remove the chicken, let it cool, and shred it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to combine. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas, mixing to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut the pastry into small circles to create 'pom poms.'

Step 9

Arrange the puff pastry 'pom poms' on top of the chicken filling, slightly overlapping them to cover the surface.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the puff pastry circles with the egg wash to give them a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry 'pom poms' are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Pom Pom Pie!
