Ingredients for Cast Iron Chicken Pie:

1. Heat butter in a Lifespace cast iron pan. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery for 7–10 minutes until soft and aromatic.
2. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
3. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock, cream, and milk until a silky, thick sauce forms.
4. Stir in thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
5. Add the shredded chicken and peas and let the mixture simmer until well combined and creamy.
6. Remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a sheet of puff pastry, trim the edges, cut a small vent on top, and brush with egg wash.
7. Bake at 200°C / 390°F for 25–35 minutes, until the pastry is puffed, glossy, deep golden, and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
