Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch square baking dish and set it aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/3 cup butter.
  • Add 4 cups diced assorted vegetables to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Stir to coat the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  • Gradually pour in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups half-and-half, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.
  • Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken. Taste and, if needed, add more salt to suit your preference.
  • Pour the hot filling into the prepared 9×9-inch baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  • Unfold 1 sheet thawed puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press together any seams and, if necessary, roll to size so the pastry will fully cover the baking dish.
  • Place the puff pastry sheet over the filling. Trim any excess pastry so it fits the dish, and press the edges to seal (tuck or crimp the edges as desired).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 2 tablespoons water. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top of the puff pastry.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut several small slits in the puff pastry to vent steam.
  • Bake in the preheated 400°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Good vegetables for pot pie include potatoes (regular or sweet), carrots, peas, corn, broccoli, onions, butternut squash, green beans, etc.
​​If using a combination of fresh and frozen vegetables, saute fresh vegetables according to the recipe. Thaw frozen vegetables and add at the end with the chicken. This will keep them from getting mushy.
Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator for several hours. Keep puff pastry cold until ready to work with it.
Feel free to swap in crescent roll dough (unrolled and seams pressed together) or canned or frozen biscuits in place of the puff pastry. Place on top of the filling, omit the egg wash, and bake as directed.
