    \n
  1. Preheat oven
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cook vegetables
    In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5\u20136 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Cook for 4\u20135 minutes until thickened. Stir in chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Tips & Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350\u00b0F oven until warmed through to keep pastry crisp. Avoid microwaving when possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
