Ingredients
  

  • 17.3 oz. box puff pastry
  • 1 egg
  • 2 c. cooked cubed chicken
  • 1 large potato chopped and boiled
  • 1 c. frozen peas
  • 1 c. canned carrots
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. flour
  • 1 ½ c. milk
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic salt
  • ¼ tsp. celery seed or celery salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp. sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk, followed by the heavy cream, stirring until the mixture comes to a gentle bubble and thickens.
  • Add the onion powder, garlic salt, celery seed, black pepper, poultry seasoning, and sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Turn off the heat and add the chicken, carrots, peas, and potatoes. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between four 6-inch pie pans.
  • Unroll the puff pastry and lightly roll it out on a floured surface. Cut out circles slightly larger than the tops of the pie pans.
  • Place a puff pastry circle on top of each pot pie, pressing down lightly around the edges.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the puff pastry tops.
  • Place the pies on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For the best results, make sure your puff pastry stays chilled until you’re ready to roll it out. Warm pastry can become sticky and lose its flaky texture.
  • Gently roll out the puff pastry to smooth it and slightly enlarge the size. This ensures it fits well over the pie pans without being too thin.
  • Brushing the pastry with an egg wash gives the pies that beautiful golden-brown color and a glossy finish.
  • Leave a little space at the top of each pie pan to prevent the filling from bubbling over during baking. Placing the pies on a baking sheet also helps catch any drips.
  • You can easily swap the vegetables or protein — try adding mushrooms, corn, or leftover turkey for a different twist.
