Ingredients
  

Chicken and Vegetables
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 3-4 breasts
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
Pastry
  • 1 sheet puff pastry

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Oven

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet, spray with nonstick cooking spray. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped garlic, carrots, and frozen peas; sauté for about five minutes until tender.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth while scraping any browned bits from the pan. Add cream cheese and thyme; stir until combined into a creamy sauce.
  4. Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet along with cooked orzo pasta; mix well to coat.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Roll out puff pastry over the top, crimp edges, and cut slits for steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
