In a small mixing bowl, add the flour and a few ladles of the chicken stock. Whisk until the flour is incorporated then add to the pot. Stir until the chicken pot pie filling has thickened.

Take the puff pastry, cut out four circles. Take two of those circle (these will be your top layers) and cut out a smaller circle inside, keep everything intact. Egg wash the bottom two circles, place a top circle on each bottom circle, egg wash the entire thing. Bake at 400°F/205°C for 20-25 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.
