Chicken and Vegetables
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
Orzo and Sauce
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Topping
  • 1 cup puff pastry thawed if frozen

Method
 

Cook Chicken and Vegetables
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add carrots, celery, and peas to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Prepare Orzo and Sauce
  1. Stir in the orzo, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 10-12 minutes until orzo is tender.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and flour. Stir into the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim excess pastry and cut slits for steam.
  3. Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
