Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown (about 5 minutes); remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup diced daikon and 1/2 cup diced carrots to the same skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened, then add 2 cups chicken broth and 4 tbsp chopped shiso leaves. Simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and broth has reduced by half.
  3. Step 3: Return chicken to skillet, stir in 3 tbsp all-purpose flour mixed with 2 tbsp water to thicken, and cook for 3 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Pour mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, cover with a sheet of pastry dough, and crimp edges. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
