Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss frozen vegetables with canola oil and spread evenly onto a sheet pan. Place into oven and cook until golden brown. In a saute pan heat 1 T. of butter and sweat the onion and celery. In another saucepan, heat the broth and milk. Add 2 more T. of butter to the celery mix and cook out the water. Add the flour and curry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the hot milk mixture and cook until thickened. Add the parsley, salt and pepper. Toss the browned vegetables and the chicken.

Place into the oven and cook until puff pastry has browned and the mixture is hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
