Ingredients

Scale

For the Pastry Dough:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

For the Chicken Filling:

  • 2 cups shredded chicken (cooked)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pastry Dough:
    • In a large bowl, mix flour and salt.
    • Add cold butter and cut it into the flour until it forms coarse crumbs.
    • Slowly add cold water, mixing until the dough forms.
    • Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
    • In a pan, melt butter and stir in flour to create a roux.
    • Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until thickened.
    • Add shredded chicken, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
    • Let the filling cool completely.
  3. Assemble the Chicken Pastry:
    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
    • Place chicken filling onto one half of the dough, leaving space around the edges.
    • Fold the dough over and press the edges to seal.
    • Brush the top with egg wash and cut small slits for ventilation.
  4. Bake the Pastry:
    • Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
    • Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flakiness, use puff pastry instead of shortcrust.
  • To prevent a soggy crust, make sure the filling is completely cool before assembling.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
