Ingredients

  

• 500 g cooked chicken shredded
• 1 onion diced
• 2 carrots finely diced
• 150 g frozen peas
• 40 g butter
• 40 g all-purpose flour
• 400 ml chicken broth
• 150 ml milk
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 puff pastry sheet about 250 g, thawed
• 1 egg beaten for brushing

Equipment

• 1 Saucepan
• 1 Pie dish
• 1 Baking tray
• 1 Food thermometer

Method

 

1. Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Melt butter in a saucepan and cook onion and carrots for 6–8 minutes until softened.
2. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add broth and milk, stirring to make a smooth sauce.
3. Simmer for 3 minutes, then stir in cooked chicken, peas, thyme, salt and pepper. Transfer to a roughly 23 cm pie dish.
4. Lay the thawed pastry over the filling, trim excess and press the edges to the dish. Cut a small steam vent in the center.
5. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 25–30 minutes until the pastry is golden and the center of the filling reaches 74°C / 165°F.
6. Rest for 10 minutes before serving; the filling will be very hot.
