savory chicken with seasoned vegetables in a velvety cream sauce all cozy and warm
under a golden puff pastry crust. Hungry now?
Fast and inexpensive 'cause you are using your precooked chicken and the rest of the ingredients from the fridge and pantry-except maybe, the puff pastry.
This is what you will need:
Precooked chicken, chicken stock, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, peas, mushrooms, cream, an egg, butter, flour, puff pastry, salt and pepper to taste. Optional: celery seasoning, poultry seasoning and mashed potatoes and chive garnish for top.
Melt the butter in a medium sized sauce pan. Drop in the diced onion, garlic, carrots, celery and mushrooms.
Sauté until almost tender. Stir in the flour. Add the chicken stock and blend until smooth.
Stir in the cream and add the seasonings.

Pour chicken mixture into prepared ramekins. And using one sheet of the yummy puff pastry, cut triangles or your own design and arrange on top...and these babies are ready to meet the heat.

3/4 cup frozen peas
7 oz precooked chicken breast, shredded
1 sheet of puff pastry

Optional: mashed potatoes and chives garnish for top

Bake at 400℉ for 15-20 minutes or until pot pie is bubbly and the puff pastry is a golden brown.
I like to place a scoop of buttery mashed potatoes in the center of the dish, add another chunk of butter and a few chopped chives. Delicious, cozy, fast, and oh yeah, inexpensive!!!
