Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 1/2 cups diced rotisserie chicken or other cooked chicken
- 1 (16-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/4 cup water
Crust
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is fully heated before baking the pot pie.
- Make the filling: In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, combine the diced chicken, Alfredo sauce, and frozen mixed vegetables. To the Alfredo sauce jar, add 1/4 cup of water, screw the lid on tightly, and shake it well to loosen the sauce before adding it to the skillet. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a simmer over medium heat, cooking for about 3 minutes until heated through.
- Cover with pastry: On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry just enough to cover the top of the skillet, allowing a slight overhang. Place the puff pastry over the skillet and trim any excess. Cut 4 small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake the pot pie: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Rest and serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns and help the filling set.
Notes
- You can use any cooked chicken, such as leftover rotisserie or shredded chicken breasts.
- If you don’t have Alfredo sauce, a creamy white sauce or cream of chicken soup can be a good substitute.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be replaced with fresh or other frozen veggies like peas, carrots, and corn.
- Make sure the puff pastry is thawed before rolling to prevent tearing.
- Use an ovenproof skillet to bake directly in the oven; if unavailable, transfer filling to an oven-safe dish before topping with pastry.
