Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the diced chicken, Mexican cheese blend, mayonnaise, chopped broccoli florets, diced onion, red bell pepper, minced garlic, slivered almonds, and fresh dill. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed for a harmonious flavor profile in every bite. (10 minutes)

03

Step

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Each sheet should be large enough to extend approximately 3 inches beyond each side of the prepared baking pan. Carefully place one sheet of puff pastry into the pan, pressing it gently against the bottom and up the sides. Evenly pour the chicken and broccoli filling over the bottom crust. Top with the second puff pastry sheet. Fold the edges of the top crust under the bottom crust, creating a sealed border. Pinch the crusts together to ensure a secure closure. (20 minutes)

04

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, water, and salt to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top crust of the pot pie. This will give it a beautiful golden-brown sheen during baking. Using a sharp knife, cut several vents into the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through, approximately 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the chicken and broccoli mixture.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as chopped carrots, mushrooms, or peas, based on your preference.
To prevent the edges of the puff pastry from browning too quickly, you can cover them with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Serve warm and enjoy!
