Ingredients

  • 1 17.3 ounce package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 2 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 cup chopped onion (1 large)

  • 1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)

  • 1 cup chopped carrots (2 medium)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup half-and-half, light cream, or whole milk

  • 3 cup regular or reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 bay leaf

  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ cup frozen baby or regular peas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry sheet to a 10-inch square; cut each into four 5-inch squares. Set aside.

  2. Lightly coat a Dutch oven with cooking spray; heat Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until light brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

  3. Stir flour into chicken mixture; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in half-and-half until combined. Add broth, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Stir in frozen peas. Remove from heat. Remove and discard bay leaf.

  4. Spoon hot chicken mixture into eight 10-ounce individual ramekins or baking dishes. Top with pastry squares. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until pastry is golden.
