Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz chicken breast boneless, skinless, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 1 yellow onion medium, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 large egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let the puff pastry thaw according to package instructions.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the 16 oz diced chicken breast and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 5 more minutes until tender.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the vegetables. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the top, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in 1 cup chicken broth. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
  • Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, and the cooked chicken. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  • Pour the filling into a 9-inch baking dish.
  • Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet over the dish, trimming edges. Cut 2 to 3 small slits or an X in the center of the pastry for venting [2.5].
  • Brush the pastry top evenly with the beaten egg.
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
