Ingredients

• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the Buffalo sauce and cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Add the diced carrots, celery, and peas to the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.

Step 7

Fold in the shredded chicken and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to a 9-inch pie dish or an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Roll out the thawed puff pastry to fit over the top of the dish. Place the pastry over the filling, trimming the edges as needed, and press down gently to seal.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, shiny crust.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
