Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb of cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 3/4 cups of chicken broth
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion and mixed vegetables until they are tender.

- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to fit the size of the pie dish. Place the pastry over the filling and trim any excess overhang.
- Brush the beaten egg over the puff pastry.
- Make a few slits on the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
