For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and browning them before adding them to the casserole. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as mushrooms or potatoes, to customize the casserole to your liking. If you don't have puff pastry, you can use pie crust or biscuit dough instead.
