Step 1
Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat until foamy, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Sprinkle flour into the butter and stir constantly for 90 seconds until it turns light golden brown.
Step 3
Pour broth slowly while whisking to prevent lumps, then add shredded chicken, peas, and carrots with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Simmer for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Drape thawed puff pastry over the filling, tucking edges down slightly so they don't burn.
Step 6
Bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes until pastry is golden brown and puffed, then serve hot.
