Directions:
- Pour chicken stock into medium pot. Bring stock to a simmer. Add chicken breast, carrots, celery, and onion. Simmer for ten minutes. Add potato, chicken base and bay leaf. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove chicken. Allow to cool slightly. Dice and set aside. Mix butter and flour in small bowl. Add to simmering vegetables. Whisk until incorporated. Allow to cook until thickened.
- Add peas, parsley, thyme, mustard, and diced chicken. Adjust for seasonings.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Open rolls of croissant dough.
- On floured work surface, lay one sheet flat. Divide the second croissant dough in two lengthwise. Add the extra dough to the first flat sheet to form a wider rectangle. Pinch all seams together. Use a rolling pin to roll out dough slightly. Check often for any sticking.
- Repeat the process for the third croissant dough.
- Use a 4-quart oval baking dish or a 9x13 baking dish. Place one rectangle on bottom of baking dish. Try to bring edges of dough over rim of baking dish.
- Pour chicken filling over dough.
- Top with remaining rectangle. Pinch seams together. Brush off excess flour. Tuck overlapping dough into baking dish. Slightly press edges upward to form a decorative edge at rim.
