Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium carrot peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 medium red onion sliced or diced
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 chicken stock cube
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk 2% or whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ¼ tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Instructions
- If frozen, allow puff pastry to thaw at room temperature.
- Cook chicken breasts in boiling water with salt, pepper, bay leaves, a cinnamon stick, and a chicken stock cube until soft. Once cooked, shred using a fork.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F, and lightly spray a 9x13 inch pan with baking spray and line with a sheet of puff pastry.
- In a medium-sized pan or pot on medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and carrot, sauté until tender.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for an additional minute.
- Whisk in milk, cream, and 1/2 cup of chicken broth (from the cooked chicken). Bring to a boil, then let it simmer on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken.
- Reduce heat and add mushrooms, corn, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the chicken mixture over the puff pastry, then top with a second sheet of puff pastry (consider creating a lattice pattern for extra style).
- Beat the egg and brush it over the top.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and looks done.
