Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 5 tbsp plain flour
- Fresh thyme and rosemary leaves
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large potato, diced and blanched
- 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
- 4 sheets puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Instructions
Preparing the Filling:
- Cook the Onion: In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the Roux: Stir in the flour and herbs, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes to form a roux.
- Add Chicken and Stock: Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, add the chicken breasts, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the stew has thickened slightly.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken, shred it, and set it aside. Add the milk to the sauce and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Split the sauce in half.
- Combine Ingredients: To one half of the sauce, add the diced potato, peas, and shredded chicken. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Place this mixture in the fridge to cool.
Assembling the Biscuits:
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut 2-inch circles from the puff pastry sheets.
- Assemble the Biscuits: Lay a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto a pastry circle. Top with another pastry circle and press the edges together with a fork.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush each assembled biscuit with the beaten egg and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the Chicken Pot Pie Biscuits immediately with sautéed greens and the remaining half of the gravy heated up on the side.
These Chicken Pot Pie Biscuits offer all the comforting flavors of a traditional pot pie in a convenient and delightful form.
