Make dinner

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 400°F. Melt the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and soften the onion for 4 minutes.

  2. 02

    Stir in the flour for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in broth and milk; simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes.

  3. 03

    Fold in the chicken, frozen vegetables, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove from the heat.

  4. 04

    Lay puff pastry over the skillet, trim the corners, and cut three vents. Bake until deeply golden, 22 to 26 minutes.

Make it work

Useful swaps

  • Use refrigerated biscuit dough instead of puff pastry.
  • Leftover turkey works with the same timing.

Why this is a good weeknight call

It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
