However, this can be mitigated by choosing low-fat versions and making your own puff pastry.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This recipe is an excellent source of protein from the chicken and nutrients from the vegetables used. Carrots are a great source of vitamin A, while mushrooms contain B-vitamins, copper, and selenium. Peas are rich in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation.
