Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, diced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 package Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 pieces Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest. Once cool enough to handle, dice into small cubes.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and stir to combine, making sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the mixture to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of frozen peas, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, the diced chicken, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Divide the filling evenly into four small oven-safe ramekins.

Step 9

On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets and cut them into four squares slightly larger than the ramekins.

Step 10

Place a puff pastry square over each ramekin, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Trim any excess pastry if needed.

Step 11

Brush the top of each pastry with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit in the center of each pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.

Step 14

Allow the pot pies to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
