Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until onion is softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add broth and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, and parsley.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat egg with 1 Tbsp water for an egg wash. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface to an 11- by 15-inch rectangle; cut into 6 squares; brush with egg wash. Mist 6 ramekins with cooking spray on both inside and outside (to prevent puff pastry from sticking), then arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fill each ramekin with chicken mixture. Top each ramekin with a puff pastry square, egg wash-side down, then brush tops with more egg wash. Trim pastry sides, if desired, leaving a ¾-inch overhang. Bake until puffed and golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
