Chicken and Pastry
This Chicken and Pastry recipe makes a giant bowl of comfort food. It is a Southern-inspired hearty dish that I adore on these cold dark days. Squares of pastry combine with chicken thighs and broth to make this delicious rustic dish.
To make this hearty soup, start by making the pastry. Cook chicken thighs until golden all over. Add water and broth to the saucepan and add onion and celery to make the soup. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into diamond shapes. Remove the vegetables and chicken from the soup and add pastry to the broth. Simmer until puffed and cooked through. Return the chicken to the pot. Heat through and season before serving.
To make this Chicken and Pastry, you will need the following ingredients:
