Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Attach Food processor attachment to stand mixer fitted with dicing disc and blade. Place bowl under attachment to catch diced vegetables. Cut carrots to fit vertically into feed tube. Process on speed 6 until all carrots are diced. Repeat with celery and onion.
3. Melt butter in 25cm cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add diced vegetables, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to skillet. Sauté, stirring often until softened and lightly browned. Stir in thyme. Whisk in flour and cook 2 minutes. Slowly add broth while continuing to whisk and bring to a simmer. Season chicken with salt and pepper and nestle into skillet. Cover partially and simmer 15 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and let cool slightly. Shred chicken into bite size pieces. Stir peas, heavy cream and parsley into skillet, then add chicken.
4. Make an egg wash by whisking egg with 1 teaspoon water. Unfold thawed pastry and arrange on top of skillet, tucking in edges. Brush with egg wash, then cut a few slits in the center of pie. Bake 30 minutes until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
