Notes
This dish is versatile; feel free to swap chicken with turkey or tofu for a vegetarian option. Use almond milk for a lighter sauce, and consider mashed potatoes instead of puff pastry for a shepherd’s pie twist. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To enhance flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce—it’s a secret trick that elevates the dish wonderfully!
