Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp. butter
  • ¼ c all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • ½ c milk
  • ½ c onion cooking
  • 10 oz chicken broth 284 ml, condensed
  • ½ c potato raw, peeled and chopped
  • 1 ½ c cooked chicken store bought –roasted, or pre-cooked package
  • ¾ c peas and carrots frozen
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry frozen, then thawed, the kind that doesn't need rolling
  • 1 stalk celery chopped

Instructions

  • Mix 2 tbsp of the butter with the flour and put aside
  • In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the milk and set this aside
  • Using a large cast iron pan, cook the onion and celery in the 4 tbsp. of butter and season with salt and pepper to your taste
  • Add the potato and the broth and bring to a boil, then cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add the butter/flour mixture and stir this in.
  • When the mixture has started to boil again, remove it from the heat source and stir in the milk & cornstarch.
  • Put the pan back on the stove and bring it to a boil once again, then remove it from the heat and stir in the peas & carrots and the chicken.
  • Cover with a lid to cool while you get your puff pastry ready!
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C with the top rack in the lowest position. This is also known as the bottom third of your oven.
  • Following the package instructions unroll one sheets of puff pastry.
  • Make sure the cooled chicken mixture is mounding slightly in the middle of the skillet.
  • Place the  sheet of puff pastry on the top, and cut a few of vents into the top crust with a knife. This will allow the steam to escape and also will make your crust very flaky!
  • Crimp the edges of your puff pastry around the edge of the cast iron pan  and brush the entire top crust and edges with milk
  • Bake for 50 minutes, the let cool for about 20 minutes before serving
  • Yum!
