Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Sprinkle flour over the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.
3. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring until the sauce thickens.
4. Add shredded chicken and mixed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry and cut into 12 squares.
6. Press each square into a greased muffin tin well.
7. Spoon the filling evenly into each pastry-lined muffin cup.
8. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
9. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.
10. Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Make sure to cool the filling before placing it into the pastry to avoid soggy bottoms.
Puff pastry should be thawed but still cold for easy handling and flakiness.
You can freeze these before or after baking for meal prep or last-minute meals.
