Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 package (1 pound) puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat until browned and cooked through (6-8 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Sauté frozen vegetables in the same skillet for 3-4 minutes until heated.
- Make the sauce by melting butter in the skillet; stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually add chicken broth and cream until thickened (4-5 minutes). Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, cooked chicken, and parsley.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry and cut into 4x4-inch squares.
- Spoon filling into the center of each square; fold edges to seal them. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
