Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
4 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
1 sheet puff pastry
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown on both sides (about 6 minutes per side). Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
3. In the same skillet, add remaining butter if necessary and sauté diced carrots for about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen peas until warmed through.
4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Whisk in heavy cream, then stir in chopped herbs.
5. Combine cooked chicken with the sauce and vegetables in the skillet. Pour into the prepared baking dish and cover with puff pastry, sealing the edges tightly.
6. Cut slits in the pastry for steam to escape and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
