INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 F. Brush the chicken breasts on both sides with
olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan until
smoking, grill the chicken for four minutes on one side or until
golden brown, turn over and continue grilling for 5-6 minutes or until
cooked through. Set aside for five minutes and cut into 1/2-inch
pieces. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and blanch the
carrots, potatoes, and onions for five minutes, set aside. Bring 2
cups of chicken stock to the simmer. Mix the remaining stock with
cornstarch until smooth and slowly add to the simmering broth. Whisk
until the sauce begins to thicken, add the lemon juice and zest and
simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken, vegetables, tarragon, and
season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture into a 2-quart
round ovenproof casserole. Roll the pastry on a lightly floured
surface so that it is 2 inches larger than the diameter of the baking
dish. Mix together the yolk and water and lightly brush around the
inside and outside of the rim of the dish. Lay the puff pastry over
the dish, trim the overhang to an inch, and crimp the edges around the
rim to form a tight seal. Brush the entire surface lightly with the
egg wash. Cut a few slits in the pastry to allow the steam to escape.
Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes or until
the filling is bubbly and the pastry is golden brown. Let sit five
minutes before serving. © 1997 Lifetime Entertainment Services. All
