Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 small potato peeled and diced (Russet, red or sweet potato)
  • 1 medium carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup milk any kind
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups cooked chicken rotisserie chicken works best!
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 store bought 9-inch pie crust
  • Frozen Puff pastry; thawed
  • 1 egg lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Add the chopped potatoes, carrots and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour. When the veggies are soft, slowly add the flour-milk mixture to the pan, stirring until everything thickens. Remove pan from the heat and stir in the chicken and peas.
  • Add the pie filling to your 9-inch pie plate and cover with your puff pastry. This will create an awesome, flaky crust on top. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape while baking. Using a pastry brush, paint with the egg wash, which will result in a nice golden sheen. This is something you can get the kids to help you with (easy enough).
  • Bake the pie for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling looks bubbly inside.
