Hello everybody and welcome to another entry in the pantry panic series. Today we went Mexican which is one of my favorite cuisines to cook and to eat. This pie came together super easy and with only a few pantry and fridge ingredients.

Ingredients

• 4-5 chicken breast tenders
• 1 can black beans, rinsed
• 1 can tomatoes, with juices.
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 3 sprigs thyme, chopped or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 sheet puff pastry
• olive oil for cooking
• salt/pepper to taste

For Cheese Sauce

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups cheese blend
• 2 cups milk

Directions

1. Brown chicken in a pan with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and cumin.
2. Add onion, beans, tomatoes and thyme and cook for five minutes.
3. While that is cooking melt your butter in a sauce pan. Then add flour and whisk until combined. Add milk and cheese blend. Continue whisking until cheese is melted and the sauce starts to thicken. Salt to taste.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
5. Combine cheese sauce with chicken mixture and stir to combine. Put in a pie dish and cover with puff pastry.
6. Cook for 25 minutes until golden brown and flaky.

Tip: Put a baking sheet under your pie plate. I over filled my dish and it bubbled over.
