Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add diced chicken; cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in sliced mushrooms, carrots, and peas; cook for another 5 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the mixture; stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; mix well and bring to a simmer.

Add bay leaves, salt, and black pepper; cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Remove bay leaves and let the mixture cool slightly.

Roll out puff pastry and place it in a baking dish, leaving some overhang.

Pour the chicken mixture into the pastry-lined dish.

Cover with another layer of puff pastry; seal the edges and cut slits for steam.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.
