Servings: 6
Author: Wanda Baker

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 medium sized yellow potatoes peeled and diced small
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 3 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 4 cups chicken stock.
  • 2 cups leftover roast chicken shredded or chopped
  • 2 tsp za'atar
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary
  • 2 tsp old bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Puff Pastry

  • 1 package Puff Pastry thawed
  • 1 egg beaten
  • flour

Instructions

  • In a small sauce pan, heat the chicken stock.
  • In a large sauce pan over medium high heat add olive oil and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes stirring regularly. Add onions and carrots cooking for another 5 minutes.
  • Add butter and flour mixing well. Cook over low heat stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in the hot chicken stock and simmer until thick. If your sauce doesn't thicken add a mixture of 1/4 cup cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water to help thicken.
  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Stir in chicken, za'atar, rosemary, old bay, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in peas.

Puff Pastry

  • Flour your surface and place puff pastry on top. Sprinkle with flour.
  • Roll evenly to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut each piece of puff pastry into four equal squares.
  • Spoon chicken mixture into individual oven proof bowls. Rub a little butter around the edges of the bowls to help prevent pastry sticking. Then cover with a square piece of puff pastry. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg, sprinkle on some additional chopped rosemary, cracked black pepper, sea salt and hot pepper flakes (optional).
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes and serve immediately.
