Add 1/3 cup of flour to the pan and mix, allowing it to cook and brown slightly.

Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and stir until it thickens slightly.

Add about 1 to 2 cups of mixed vegetables to the mixture.

Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and boiled chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Pour the filling into a greased 9 by 13 dish.

Top with puff pastry, making steam slits in the crust.

Brush the pastry with an egg wash before baking.

Bake until the pastry is golden brown.
