Instructions

6.In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add pearl onions and baby carrots and boil for 3 minutes. Drain.
7.In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, melt butter and sugar together over medium heat. Add cooked bacon, pearl onions, baby carrots, and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes.
8.Stir in the cooked chicken and remove skillet from heat.
9.Roll out puff pastry sheets and use them to cover the chicken mixture in the skillet, making sure to tuck the edges of the pastry down into the sides of the skillet.
