  • 2 - 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 1/2 cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 large potato
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Miracle Whip or your favorite mayo
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Crust

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Thaw the puff pastry
  • Chop your vegetables (onions, potatoes, carrots, celery)
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

Cook the Chicken and Potatoes

  • Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil; add the chicken breasts
  • 5 minutes later, add your cubed potatoes
  • Cook another 15 minutes or until the chicken is done (internal temperature reaches 165°F; 74°C) and the potatoes are soft (but not mushy)
  • Drain but SAVE 1/4 cup of the chicken/potato water
  • After the chicken cools enough to handle, shred it

Make the Filling

  • While the chicken and potatoes are cooking, sautee the celery, onions and carrots over medium heat for 6-7 minutes in a large skillet (until soft)
  • Add the flour and stir, coating your vegetables with it
  • Add your mayo and dairy-free milk, stirring to remove any lumps
  • Add the frozen peas and cook until the peas are no longer frozen
  • Transfer everything in your skillet to a large casserole dish

Add the Crust Topping & Bake

  • Roll out your puff pastry on top; brush with egg (or water)
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees F
  • Serve and enjoy!
