Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
  • 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn), cooked
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and cook until softened.
  3. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
  5. Add the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  6. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut out rounds using a round cutter or the rim of a glass, depending on the size of your muffin tin.
  7. Place each round of puff pastry into the cups of a muffin tin, pressing gently to form a cup shape.
  8. Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into each puff pastry cup, filling them almost to the top.
  9. Brush the edges of the puff pastry cups with the beaten egg for a golden and shiny finish.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the Chicken Pot Pie Puffs cool for a few minutes before serving.
  12. Carefully remove the puffs from the muffin tin and serve warm.
