Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken breast
• 2 medium-sized Carrots
• 2 Celery stalks
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 60 g All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken stock
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme
• 500 g Ready-made puff pastry
• 1 Egg
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and dice the carrots, and dice the celery. In the same pan, add the carrots and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas to the pan and stir for another 2 minutes. Remove all the vegetables from the pan and set aside with the chicken.

Step 6

In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, forming a roux.

Step 7

Gradually add the chicken stock while whisking to avoid lumps. Then, add the milk and continue to whisk until a creamy sauce forms.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in the cooked chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated. Remove the filling from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry if needed. Line a pie dish with half of the pastry, allowing some overhang on the edges.

Step 10

Add the chicken and vegetable filling into the pastry-lined dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Cover the filling with the remaining pastry to form a lid. Press the edges together to seal and trim any excess pastry. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.

Step 12

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the pastry to create a golden crust.

Step 13

Cut a few small slits in the pastry lid to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 14

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Step 15

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious chicken pie!
