Instructions
Open your rotisserie chicken and discard the skin. Shred the the chicken off the bone until you have 2 cups. Set aside.
In a large pan or skillet, melt 1 stick of butter over medium heat and add 1/2 c chopped onion. Cook 3 mins until onion starts to become translucent.
Whisk in 1/2 c flour (mixture will bind together). While continuing to stir, whisk in 1.5 c chicken broth.
Stir in 1 cup of the frozen peas and carrots, 1/2 c of frozen corn, and the 2 cups of shredded chicken. Add 1/2 t salt and 1/8 t pepper. Note, I use coarse salt. If using table salt, you may want to use less.
Grab a 9x9 baking pan and spray with olive oil spray or cooking spray. Add 3 c of thawed hash browns and use the back of a spoon to press them down flat into bottom of the pan. You will want them to be a consistent thickness. Sprinkle with 1/2t salt and 1/4t pepper.
Pour the chicken mixture over the hash browns.
Unroll one sheet of the puff pastry and use it to completely cover the top of the baking pan. Use a fork to crimp the edges against the edge of the pan to seal it.
Break egg into a small bowl and whisk with 1/2 t water. Gently brush a small amount of the egg mixture over top of the entire puff pastry. You won't use all of the egg mixture. Just use enough to make the pastry glisten.
Place a cookie sheet under the 9x9 pan and put both in oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-45 mins.
