Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes 

3 celery stalks, finely diced 

2 carrots, peeled and finely diced 

1 large onion, finely diced 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 sheets frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed

1 large egg, whisked with 1 teaspoon water

1/4 cup all-purpose flour 

1/8 teaspoon turmeric 

3 cups low-sodium chicken stock, hot 

2 cups half-and-half 

2/3 cup frozen peas 

2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked 

1 small sprig fresh rosemary, leaves chopped 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, celery, carrots, onion and some salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables just begin to soften, about 7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, make the crusts. Unroll both sheets of pastry, even out the surface with a rolling pin and cut out 3 circles from each. Transfer the circles to the prepared baking sheets, poke them all over with a fork and brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle over some salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables and add the turmeric; cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the hot stock, add the half-and-half, peas, thyme and rosemary and cook until the sauce thickens, another 3 minutes. Serve in bowls topped with the crusts.

Love the concept and it tasted great. I added some corn starch to thicken it up and nutmeg because I like the flavor. Took longer than 16 minutes which I don’t think is a big deal.
