Equipment

  • chef's knife
  • cutting board
  • spatula
  • large cast iron skillet
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 med yellow onion, diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced thinly
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 oz) bag frozen cut green beans, thawed
  • 1 (10 oz) bag frozen corn, thawed
  • 5-6 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped I used a rotisserie chicken
  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 1 egg
  • water
  • kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Build the base: In a large cast iron skillet, sauté the onions, mushrooms, and garlic in butter over medium-high heat until softened.
  • Add vegetables: Stir in the green beans and corn and cook until warmed through.
  • Make the roux: Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3–4 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste.
  • Create the sauce: Slowly pour in the broth, stirring to keep the sauce smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened and heated through.
  • Add chicken: Stir in the chicken until combined, then remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Top with pastry: Cut the puff pastry into 1-inch squares. Starting around the outer edge of the skillet, arrange the pastry on top of the filling, slightly overlapping as you work toward the center.
  • Finish: Whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush over the puff pastry. Season with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper.
  • Bake: Bake at 400°F until the puff pastry is deeply golden and crisp, about 35–45 minutes.
