Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and cube the chicken.
Sauté the carrots and diced onions in the same skillet for about 5 minutes, then stir in frozen peas.
Add chicken broth along with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Simmer until slightly thickened (~3-4 minutes).
In a baking dish, combine the chicken with sautéed vegetables and sauce mixture. Roll out puff pastry to cover the pie completely; seal edges.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
