# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 700 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs as preferred)
02 - 500 g frozen mixed vegetables
03 - 600 ml cream of chicken soup
04 - 240 ml chicken broth
05 - 1 tsp onion powder
06 - 1 tsp garlic powder
07 - 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
08 - 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

→ Topping

09 - 1 sheet (approx. 250 g) puff pastry or 1 can (8 pieces) refrigerated biscuits

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Add cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed vegetables, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, chicken bouillon powder, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir until thoroughly combined.
02 - Nestle the chicken breasts into the vegetable and soup mixture. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
03 - Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and cut or shred into bite-sized pieces. Return chicken to the slow cooker and stir into the filling until evenly distributed.
04 - Bake puff pastry or biscuits according to package instructions until golden and baked through.
05 - Ladle the creamy chicken and vegetable filling into bowls and top with the warm baked puff pastry or biscuits. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For a crisper texture and fresher flavour, substitute fresh mixed vegetables for frozen.
02 - To achieve a shiny, golden finish on puff pastry, brush with a beaten egg before baking.
03 - If the filling is thinner than desired, stir in a cornstarch and water slurry and cook briefly until thickened.
