Ingredients
- 10 oz chicken breast, diced
- oil for frying
- 5 oz potatoes, diced

- Pour the cream into the pan before adding the parmesan, cream cheese, garlic, and butter. Mix the ingredients and leave everything to cook for 10 minutes. Now you can stir in the tomatoes.
- Take the pan off from the heat and place the puff pastry on top so that it hangs over the edge of the pan. Press the pastry down along the edge of the pan and brush it with the whisked egg. Bake the dish at 375°F for 20 minutes in a preheated oven.
