Instructions

Step 1: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Step 2: Add 12 oz diced chicken thighs and cook for 5 minutes until browned. Stir in 1 cup diced carrots and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 3: Sprinkle 3 tbsp all-purpose flour over the mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Gradually pour in 2 cups chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
Step 4: Add 1 cup frozen peas, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1 cup heavy cream. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 5: Transfer the filling to a baking dish. Cover with 2 puff pastry sheets, crimping edges. Brush with 1 beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden.
