Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (4 ounces)
- 2 cups thinly sliced leek (from 1 large leek)
- 1 cup chopped carrots (from 3 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/8 ounces), plus more for work surface
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup frozen petite sweet peas, thawed
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, plus thyme leaves for garnish
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl.
- Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface and cut into 16 (3-inch) squares. Set the egg wash and pastry squares aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the lower third. Melt butter in a deep 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and carrots; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Stir in the stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken, peas, cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Brush the pastry squares with the egg wash and arrange them on top of the hot chicken mixture in the skillet, slightly overlapping to cover the entire surface of the chicken mixture. Place the skillet on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet with the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake until the top is browned and the filling is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve.
Notes
Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before use for easy handling.
