  3. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour while whisking for about 2 minutes until slightly golden.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine and stir in 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, cooking until bubbly and thickened for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken stock and simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  6. Mix in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and simmer for 10 minutes, then add cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, frozen peas, and parsley. Season to taste.
  7. Roll out puff pastry and cut it to fit over your filling.
