List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 (10-ounce) package frozen puff pastry shells
â—¦ ¼ cup unsalted butter
â—¦ ¾ cup diced yellow onion
â—¦ ¾ cup sliced carrot
â—¦ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
â—¦ ½ teaspoon celery salt
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
â—¦ 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
â—¦ 2 cups whole milk
â—¦ 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
â—¦ 1 cup fresh young peas
â—¦ 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
â—¦ 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimientos

Recipe

Preheat oven to 425° F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place puff pastry shells on prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove top of each pastry shell.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, salt, pepper, celery salt, and poultry seasoning; cook until onions are translucent. Whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking frequently, until flour turns a deep golden brown. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly as sauce thickens. Fold in chicken, peas, mushrooms, and pimientos.

Fill each puff pastry with ¾ cup chicken mixture. Garnish with chives, if desired.
