- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Dice the onion, carrots, and celery; shred cooked chicken if needed. Use a veggie prep tool for quick chopping.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
