Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the fingerling potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the fingerling potatoes for about 10 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and set aside.

Make the Velouté Cream

  1. 3

    Make a Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes to form a roux.

  2. 4

    Add Stock and Cream

    Slowly whisk in the chicken stock, followed by the heavy cream. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.

  3. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 6

    Mix the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the pulled roast chicken, cooked fingerling potatoes, diced onion, carrots, celery, and frozen peas. Pour the velouté cream over the mixture and stir until everything is well coated.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 7

    Prepare the Puff Pastry

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets to fit your pie dish. Place one sheet into the bottom of the dish.

  2. 8

    Fill the Pie

    Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork.

  3. 9

    Egg Wash

    Beat the egg and brush it over the top of the pastry for a golden finish.

  4. 10

    Bake

    Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
