from Back to the Cutting Board

Dinner | Servings: 2 to 3
Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 20 min | Total time: 35 min

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 1/2 tbsp. flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
• 6 1/2 – 7 oz. canned chicken or tuna, drained
• 1 cup frozen chopped broccoli (I don’t measure, I just use half a bag of frozen broccoli)
• 2 tbsp. parsley, chopped
• 6 frozen, ready to bake, puff pastry shells ^[1]

Process

1. Cook broccoli according to package directions, set aside.
2. Put pastries in the oven and bake according to their directions. (They take about 20-25 minutes.)
3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onion, saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in flour, until bubbly. Stir in broth, milk and seasonings. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce boils and thickens (you want a gravy-like consistency), about 10 minutes.
5. Gently fold in tuna, broccoli, parsley. Cook one more minute until hot. Serve in puff pastries.
