Filling
- 4 tbsp Country Crock® Original Spread (divided)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 12 oz frozen vegetable medley
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet on top and cut the dough to the size of the skillet. Set aside the cut pastry.
- Sauté Onions: Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt 3 tablespoons of Country Crock Original Spread. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and stir well to coat. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken. Season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary for flavor.
- Add Chicken and Vegetables: Mix the shredded rotisserie chicken and frozen vegetable medley into the skillet. Stir to combine everything evenly and simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Assemble and Bake: Place the prepared puff pastry over the filling in the skillet, pressing the edges to seal against the sides of the pan. Cut 2-4 small air holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon of melted Country Crock Original Spread for a golden finish.
- Bake the Pot Pie: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pot pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- Using a cast iron skillet ensures even heat distribution, which helps the pot pie cook thoroughly and bake evenly.
- You can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth for a richer flavor.
- Feel free to use fresh vegetables if preferred, but frozen vegetable medley is convenient and works well.
- Let the pot pie cool briefly after baking to avoid burns from hot filling.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
