Ingredients
Scale:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Olive pieces for eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until onion is translucent.
- Add carrots and peas, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, and sprinkle flour over the mixture. Stir until the flour is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Add the cream, stirring to combine, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes until creamy.
- Fill individual ramekins with the chicken mixture. Roll out puff pastry and cut into strips to create mummy bandages.
- Layer the strips over the ramekins to create a mummy effect, leaving small gaps for eyes. Brush with egg wash.
- Place two olive pieces for eyes on each pot pie.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
