Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2/3 cup onion, finely diced (about 1 small onion)
- 1 1/4 cups carrot, finely diced (2-3 carrots)
- 1 1/4 cups celery, finely diced
- 3 cups whole milk or dairy-free equivalent
- 2 packets Simply Organic® Chicken Flavored Gravy Mix
- 2 teaspoons Simply Organic® Thyme
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups frozen peas
- Salt, to taste
- Simply Organic® Black Pepper, to taste
- 2 sheets (17.3 ounces total) puff pastry
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 4 ramekins, 14-ounce size preferred
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set ramekins on a sheet pan.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are softened.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables from pot and set aside, keeping pot on medium heat.
- Add milk, Chicken Flavored Gravy Mix, and thyme to pot, whisking to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and whisk continuously until thickened.
- Stir in chicken, frozen peas, and cooked vegetables, and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, lightly roll out puff pastry. Place ramekins upside-down on puff pastry as a guide, and use a sharp knife to cut a circle about 1/2 inch larger than the ramekin. Return ramekins to sheet pan and cut 4 slits into each puff pastry circle.
- Ladle filling evenly between the 4 ramekins and top each with a puff pastry circle, lightly pressing to seal the edge.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water. Brush tops of pies with egg wash. Place sheet pan in oven and bake pies for 20 to 24 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving, and enjoy!
