Ingredients Needed:

Notes on the Ingredients:

• Frozen Peas and Carrots: if you are using raw carrots they will need to be sautéed with the onion.
• Chicken: If starting with raw chicken, cut the chicken, then cook in the skillet with a small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and continue with the recipe. 
• Egg Wash: combine one egg with a splash of milk and seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic and herb of choice (oregano, parsley or thyme).

How to make (step by step):

• Step 1: Make Filling: Melt butter, add onion and saute. Stir in flour and cook briefly. Then whisk in chicken broth, add the frozen vegetables, and shredded chicken. Stir in seasonings. Bring filling to a simmer: once simmering, remove the skillet from heat then
• Step 2: Cut Puff Pastry: cut the pastry into desired shape. You can use a biscuit cutter to make small circles or you can cut the pastry with a knife into square shapes.

• Step 3: Top Filling with Pastry: Lay the pastry over the top of the filling. Be careful not to layer the pastry. If layered, the pastry won’t bake completely through and you will end up with a doughy texture.
• Step 4: Egg Wash: Combine one egg with a bit of milk or cream, season with salt, garlic powder and herb of choice (parsley, oregano or thyme).

• Step 5: Bake: Bake the skillet pot pie at 400℉ for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden. The puff pastry will be puffed up and golden on the top.

Expert Tips:

• Meat: Cut down on time by using pre-cooked and shredded chicken, or grab a rotisserie chicken from the market. This also makes a great meal to use up leftover turkey meat.
• Vegetables: Try adding more vegetables for your family. Some options include: corn (frozen or fresh), diced gold potato– cook until soft with the onion and butter. Sliced mushrooms– add them when you cook the onion and butter. To ensure that the sauce doesn’t become too dried out, stick to 2 cups of vegetables of your choice.
• Fresh Herbs: have some herbs on hand? Add in some fresh parsley, thyme or rosemary. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed to make this a meal your entire family will love.
