Description

This herby chicken pot pie with a puff pastry top is easy to make with rotisserie chicken. Made with fresh herbs and chicken broth instead of milk, this healthy-ish pot pie always has everyone asking for seconds.


Ingredients

Units Scale

1/2 package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed or use Jus-Rol

1/4 c unsalted butter

1/4 c sliced shallots or finely chopped sweet onions

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 c dry white wine

1/2 c all-purpose flour

2 1/2 c chicken broth (I use Better than Bouillion)

2 T Dijon mustard

4 c shredded rotisserie chicken (about 1 pound of cooked chicken)

3 T fresh lemon juice

1/4 c fresh minced dill

2 T chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 t dried tarragon

2 c assorted veggies (I used peas, sliced artichoke hearts and pearl onions that I ran under cold water to remove the ice crystals. Dry well.)

1/2 t kosher salt or to taste

1/4 t fresh ground black pepper

1 whisked egg with 1 T of water


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in lower third position. If using Jus-Rol, preheat to 425 and place rack in middle position. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 10-inch square. Cut 2 to 3 (2-inch) slits horizontally across the center of pastry, spacing each 1-inch apart.  Place on a large plate or small baking sheet, chill in fridge while you make the filling.

Melt butter in a deep 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium.  (I used a cast iron skillet.) Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and bring to a boil over medium; cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk together flour, Dijon mustard and chicken broth in a measuring cup; stir into skillet and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, lemon juice, dill, parsley, tarragon, veggies and 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove from heat.

Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl. Place pastry square over hot chicken mixture, letting ends extend over sides of skillet. Brush pastry evenly with egg wash. Sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Brush the undersides of the puff pastry corners with the egg wash; press to the skillet. Place skillet on a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake until top is browned and filling is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Mine took a bit longer. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
