-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
3 cups chicken broth

Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
-
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies, stirring to coat everything well. Cook this for 1–2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
-
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the heavy cream, cooked chicken, and frozen vegetables. Let everything warm through, then remove from heat.
-
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the chicken mixture evenly across it.
-
Carefully lay the puff pastry sheets on top of the filling, trimming the edges if needed. Press gently to seal and cut a few small slits in the pastry to let steam escape.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed up nicely.
-
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This chicken recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or a relaxed weekend meal when you want something warm and satisfying without a lot of hassle.
