Quick Chicken Pot Pie recipe - The Daily Meal
Total time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
  • 3 tablespoon chicken fat or butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 3/4 pound cooked chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 1/4 cup small frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/4 cup diced cooked carrot
Directions
  1. Heat oven to 450 F.
  2. Cut circles from 1 sheet of thawed puff pastry dough to fit the tops of 4 (1 1/2-cup) individual baking dishes. Cut 2 slashes in each circle; set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons chicken fat (or butter); whisk in 1/4 cup flour. Cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Heat mixture to a boil; cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  4. Stir in 3/4 pound cooked chicken breast strips, 1/4 cup thawed peas and 1/4 cup diced, cooked carrots.
  5. Divide the mixture among the 4 baking dishes. Top each with a pastry round, tucking the edges in. Bake until pastry is golden, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.
