Description
A delicious chicken pot pie made with tender chicken, vegetables, and a flaky puff pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 cup carrots (chopped)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium sweet onion (chopped)
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Dice chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and onion; cook until onions are translucent, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add chopped carrots and frozen peas; stir for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Pour in chicken broth and scrape any brown bits from the skillet. Mix in softened cream cheese until well combined.
- Sprinkle thyme and parsley; let simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place puff pastry over the filling in the skillet or transfer to an oven-safe dish topped with pastry. Cut slits for steam venting.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
Notes
- For a rich flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan after cooking the chicken.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking. Simply bake after thawing for a quick meal.
