- 3 tbsp Bailee's Kitchen All-Purpose Seasoning or substitute: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas

For the Puff Pastry
- 2 puff pastry sheets usually one box
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Parboil Potatoes:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add 1/2 tsp salt, and parboil the diced potatoes for 8–9 minutes. The potatoes should be tender on the outside but firm in the center. Drain and set aside.
Season Chicken:
- Toss the diced chicken thighs with 1 tbsp avocado oil, 2 tbsp Bailee’s Kitchen All-Purpose Seasoning, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning.
Cook Chicken:
- Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, until no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon, leaving some juices in the pan.
Sauté Vegetables:
- Add 2 tbsp butter to the same pan. Stir in onions, celery, and carrots. Season with 1 tbsp Bailee’s Kitchen All-Purpose Seasoning and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Sauté until vegetables are soft.
Add Garlic and Flour:
- Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over the veggies and cook for 2–3 minutes on medium-low heat to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Create Sauce:
- Gradually stir in chicken broth until the mixture thickens. Add soy sauce, peas, cooked chicken, parboiled potatoes, and 1 cup heavy cream. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assemble Pie:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared 9×13 baking dish. Cut puff pastry sheets into squares and layer them over the top, slightly overlapping.
Prepare Egg Wash:
- Whisk together the egg and 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk). Brush over the puff pastry. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
Bake:
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.
Serve:
- Let the pot pie sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
- Note: If you don’t have Bailee’s Kitchen All-Purpose Seasoning, substitute with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
