Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 large Russet potato (peeled and diced)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 sprig rosemary leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 1 package puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and potatoes. Saute until onion is translucent and vegetables begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the flour, salt, pepper, and minced herbs. Saute 2-3 minutes longer to brown the flour a bit.
- Add the milk, chicken broth, cream, peas and cooked chicken to the mixture. Stir to combine, then increase heat and bring contents to a simmer.
- Simmer 5-10 minutes, until filling thickens and vegetables are cooked through.
- Prepare the puff pastry tops by gently unfolding and rolling out each puff pastry sheet. Place oven-safe bowls or ramekins upside down on the crust to measure the size of the top. Cut out a circular pie top about 1/2 to 3/4-inch larger than the bowl.
- Fill bowls/ramekins with chicken pot pie filling. Top with pastry cutout and press the overhang of the crust down around the top of the bowl.
- Whisk together egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the egg mixture over the tops of the pie crusts using a pastry brush.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. The crust should be a deep golden brown. When it is browned to your preference, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking for 15 minutes longer, until the filling is bubbling up under the crust.
- Serve and enjoy!
