  • 2 cups milk (any fat %)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (stock)
  • 2 tsp chicken or vegetable stock powder
  • 2 sprigs thyme (optional)
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 large carrots (3 small, chopped)
  • 3 ribs celery (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 50 g butter About 3 tbsp
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/3 cup white wine (or more chicken stock)
  • 1/3 cup flour

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. Cook the chicken in a pot of boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until it is fully cooked.
  2. Remove, let cool, and shred into pieces.
Preparing the Filling
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, thyme, white wine, and the flour. Stir for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and milk while stirring. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add stock powder, grated parmesan, black pepper, and frozen peas. Mix well to combine, then remove from heat.
Assembly & Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Place the mixture into pie dishes.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry and cover each dish, trimming the edges.
  4. Brush the pastry with the whisked egg for a shiny finish. Make a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
  5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add chopped potatoes or herbs like rosemary. If you're in a hurry, use a rotisserie chicken. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes after baking to avoid burns when serving.
