Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 300 grams Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 300 milliliters Chicken stock
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 1 medium Carrot (diced)
• 100 grams Frozen peas
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the butter and melt it completely. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the chicken stock and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the shredded chicken, peas, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 6

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 3 equal rectangles (or shapes of your choice).

Step 7

Spoon the chicken filling onto one side of each pastry piece, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the pastry over to cover the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 8

Place the pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, make small slits on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the pies rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
