Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 ounce chicken breast (boneless, skinless, diced)
• 0.25 yellow onion (diced)
• 0.5 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth (halal)
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 puff pastry (thawed)
• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan or oven-safe bowl over medium heat. Add diced chicken breast and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Add diced yellow onion to the same saucepan and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute until absorbed. Gradually whisk in halal chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the sauce. Pour the filling into an individual oven-safe baking dish (about 1 1/2-cup capacity).
6. Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut a piece large enough to cover your baking dish with a slight overhang. Place the puff pastry over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top of the pastry for steam to escape.
7. Brush the top of the puff pastry with beaten egg for a golden crust.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

To make clean-up easier, you can use a disposable foil ramekin or individual pie dish.
