Chicken And Vegetable Gravy Over Puff Toast
Good Wednesday night everyone.
The things you see at McDonalds these days… It was half day at school today so I told the boys we could go have lunch and play at McDonalds (I know, it’s gross, but I will admit we go occasionally). As we were walking towards the door, I watched this teenage boy follow a Mom to the door as she was leaving and said, “What the bleepity bleep are you looking at?” That’s all it took for this Mom to lose it and she starts back at him in even worse language!
Mind you, my children and I are standing there waiting to go through the door. I was stunned. It was the middle of the day and so uncalled for. They finally walked away with more degrading language. Get a life people! I thought fried fatty foods made people happy?! My boys certainly got an earful. Luckily they just raced toward the play area and forgot about it.
So, onto dinner. It’s hard to beat a 20 minute dinner. I remember as a kid eating chicken gravy over toast quite often and I loved it. It is easy and delicious. For the boys, I cut the pastry into little squares, then poured the chicken and vegetable gravy over top in their bowls. No complaints what so ever. If you want to get fancy, garnish your plates with a sprig of rosemary and call it a night!
Chicken And Vegetable Gravy Over Puff Toast
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 sheet thawed puff pastry
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk I used skim
- 1 can chunk chicken drained (from Costco)
- 1 can drained mixed vegetables
- 1/4 tsp cajun seasoning I use Emerils
- pinch salt and pepper
- pinch garlic salt
- rosemary sprigs for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Carefully unfold pastry onto a lightly floured counter. Cut into 9 equal size squares and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
- While pastry is baking, whisk together the soup and milk in a large bowl, then transfer to a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, vegetables and seasonings. Break up chicken pieces with the back of a fork. Cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Place puff pastry squares on serving plates and spoon chicken gravy overtop. Garnish with sprigs of rosemary, if desired.

Since dinner only takes 15 minutes, you’ve got plenty of time to make dessert. Try these fun sweet and salty turtle cookie bars. They are incredible and look great wrapped up with a bow. Enjoy!
Sweet and Salty Turtle Cookie Bars
2 sticks softened butter
3/4 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanillla
2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 Cups chocolate chips
3/4 Cup caramel ice cream topping
1/2 Cup chopped pretzel sticks
1/2 Cup ground walnuts
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer cream butter and sugars until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla until well combined. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and slowly add to wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Spray a 11×7 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Press 1/2 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the dish. Drizzle caramel sauce over dough then sprinkle with pretzels and walnuts. With a cookie scoop, scoop the remaining cookie dough evenly over top of pretzels and nuts. Press down slightly, should look uneven. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until cookies just start to turn golden on the edges. Remove and let cool completely before cutting into squares.

I’m a big fan of puff pastry. Appetizer, dessert, entree, you name it, it works!
You’re funny Jenny “thought fried food made people happy.” Sad for that family, you know that wasn’t an isolated incident.
Okay this would even be delish over mashed potatoes. Yummy! Thanks, I bookmarked this to try next weekend. I can’t wait.
It all looks good, enjoy your blog. But you know I don’t know how you get your kids to eat some of these meals, no way would some of my children touch it, lucky for you.
I want to thank you for all your wonderful recipes. I’ve been well fed for months with these! Thank you for adding variety to my stuffy college life.
Chicken gravy on toast was the best ever, and then you made these. They look tasty, and this is exactlly the sort of thing I love! And those folk at McDonalad’s, some people ain’t got no home training y’all.
I love that chicken puff pastry dish. And I happen to have one in the freezer! Hooray!
Hi Katherine,
I know, now I want to use puff pastry in everything!
Too funny Alexandra,
I grew up eating and playing at Micky D’s as well, there’s no harm every now and then!
Hi Shelby,
You are right, very similar, and it tastes like it too.
Satisfying my sweet tooth,
Can’t wait for your brownie week!
how sad that some people are so disrespectful these days! I love you dinner idea though…it’s almost like chicken pot pie which is one of my favorite things! And I love your dessert too. I have been trying to think of something with brownie and pretzels so I may just get creative with something similar this weekend in preparation for Brownie Week coming soon to my blog!
yumm. I would call it deconstructed chicken pot pie! he he.
Its too bad people have to use language like that in a public place. SHAME on them!
Some of my happiest childhood memories revolve around the McDonald’s playground! not gross at all.
these sweet-salty treats look incredible!
These look yummy… I didn’t know puff pastry could be so versitile!
Thanks Apples and Butter,
Love your blog, I’ll be visiting often!
Hi Sweet and Saucy,
Thanks! I am loving those darn cookies too!
Thanks Priscilla,
I agree, some behavior is really disappointing, especially around kids.
Noor,
What is it about McDonalds!?? Maybe we won’t be going anymore!
Hi Mikky,
Hope you enjoy the toast!
Bellini Valli,
Yes, that sweet and salty is so good in desserts!
These do sound amazing with sweet and salty flavours that are so popular right now:D
poor kids…tsk..tsk… but your toast looks so good… a must try for me… 🙂
Jenny I about fell out of my chair when I came over to your site and saw you posted a Mcdonalds drama, I just did as well. WOW what a weird things, lol. You have to read what we went through woo.
Can I have a cookie btw? lol.. I love puff pastry it just makes everything better..
Everything looks great, but you know I am drooling over those brownies, right!?
The turtle bars look fabulous! I must make them soon.
what rude people at mcdonalds! some people just don’t know how to be respectful!
the pastry puff and turtle bars look great! you make the best treats…i wonder how you stay sooo skinny!!!!
yummy, both the meal and dessert look so good jenny! people swearing is something i abhor.
I love that sweet and salty dessert! Fast and yummy looking…you’ve got a winner!
That looks delicious! Puff Pastry, gravy and dessert. I am totally down! Great recipes and thanks for sharing. And thanks for stopping by my blog!
Nye’s,
I believe it is Pepperage Farm brand. Any puff pastry brand will do. You’ll find it in the frozen foods by the fruit and cheesecakes. It’s really good!
Too funny Donna,
I love those darn turtles too!
Hi Sara,
I wish I could say puff pastry is healthy, but it’s pretty high in fat. Lots of butter!
Hi Beth,
Yes, totally disappointing to say the least.
Hi Stephanie,
I wish I was more gutsy, I really wanted to say something, but I didn’t. I think I was afraid to get in the middle!
That girl,
Yes, it tastes very much like an inside out pot pie. Really yummy!
I love that first recipe – it looks like an inside out pot pie!
OK, that would have irked me in McD’s and I would have HAD to say something, not bad, just a big loud EXCUSE ME. Ughhh. That’s awful, obviously we know where the kid gets it from. As for your dinner and dessert, very very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great quick and easy meal. I can’t believe the language and manners of some people. I get really annoyed when I hear and see that kind of behaviour.
