  3. Slowly add 1 cup of chicken broth and ½ cup of milk until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken and 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  6. Spoon filling into ramekins and cover with pastry, sealing the edges. Brush with egg wash and create steam slits.
