Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds potatoes (diced into bite size pieces)
- 2 large carrots (cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large shallot (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cook and shredded or diced)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup dry white wine (see notes)
- 1 cup peas (I use frozen)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (2 if needed for individual pies)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Place the potatoes in a small pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil. Add the carrots to the potatoes once the water starts boiling. Cook until just fork tender.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter, then add the shallot and garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes, until just starting to soften.
- Next add the chicken and cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm. Stir in the flour, salt, and tarragon.
- Mix in the milk and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Once the sauce is thick, mix in the wine, potatoes, carrots, and peas.
- Transfer to one large baking dish and top with a sheet of the thawed puff pastry. Make a few slits in the puff pastry for steam to escape while cooking.
- Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown. If you are using smaller, individual baking dishes, bake them for about 20 minutes, instead.
