Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken breasts and thighs with kosher salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove to a cutting board, slice into strips, and set aside.
- Add butter, chopped carrots, onions, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 6-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and flour. Stir to combine and cook for about 30 seconds.
- While stirring, slowly add chicken stock to combine. Add cream and simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in frozen peas and reserved sliced chicken. Set skillet aside to cool slightly while you work on the puff pastry.
- Lay out each sheet of puff pastry on a cutting board and cut into ½-inch strips. Twist each strip and arrange in a circular pattern from the outside of the skillet to the inside, overlapping pieces so they bake together. Continue to the center until surface is covered.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly brush whisked egg over the top of the puff pastry.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown. Remove and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Can substitute rotisserie chicken (3-4 cups shredded) for quicker prep. Wine pairing: buttery Napa Valley Chardonnay or French Pinot Noir. Combination of chicken breasts and thighs provides the best flavor and texture.
