¼ cup flour

2 cups chicken broth

8 ounces cream cheese

1 sheet frozen pastry puff sheet thawed

1 egg

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add garlic and season with salt and pepper.

Fold in chicken and peas.

Pour mixture into a 12-inch oven safe skillet.

Roll out a sheet of puff pastry and place on top of skillet. Use a sharp knife to cut off any excess dough hanging over the sides.

Cook Notes

You can use pie crust in place of the puff pastry, however, it does give a bit of a different texture and you will have to cook the dish an extra 10-15 minutes longer to make sure the dough is cooked through all the way.
