Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a pie dish with butter and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add the diced carrots, celery, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
-
Stir in the frozen peas and cooked chicken, allowing them to heat through for a couple of minutes.
-
Sprinkle the vegetables and chicken with all-purpose flour, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.
-
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to fit the size of your pie dish. Place the pastry over the filling, gently pressing the edges to seal.
-
Brush the top of the puff pastry with beaten egg to create a golden sheen when baked.
-
Make a few slits on the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
-
Remove the Ultimate Chicken Pie from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the delicious aroma filling your kitchen!
