How Long Does Jus Rol Puff Pastry Take To Cook

Chicken Pot Pie with Jus-Rol
There's nothing like a good Chicken and Vegetable Pie, also known as Chicken Pot Pie. Trouble is, most recipes take quite a long time to make. You have to prepare the chicken and vegetable filling, cool it, then make the pastry and roll it out, add the filling and finally bake the pie. It's hardly the work of moments.

What if I told you that you could have a tasty Chicken and Vegetable Pie on the table in under an hour? I love this recipe because it tastes amazing and is such a great way to use up leftovers. The recipe calls for cooked chicken breasts (turkey or ham could be easily substituted) and either leftover or frozen vegetables. Using ready rolled pastry means it's really quick and easy, but of course you can use homemade pastry if you prefer.
