Ingredients
  • 4 cups fat-free chicken or turkey stock, or broth
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 3 Tbsp dry sherry
  • 4 cups diced chicken or turkey, cooked (we grill ours)
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 rib of celery, sliced
  • 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed
  • ½ cup minced fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed and layed flat
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a medium sauce pan, heat chicken stock or broth, and dissolve bouillon cube, over medium heat.
  3. In a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Saute the onions until translucent, 10-15 minutes. Add flour, cook over low heat, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring until thick. Add salt, pepper, cream and sherry. Add cooked diced chicken or turkey, carrots, celery, peas and parsley. Mix well.
  4. Divide the filling among 4 large ramekin baking dishes.
  5. Cut each sheet of pastry in half, on the diagonal. Fit each diagonal over each large ramekin, trimming to to leave about ¼ inch hanging over the edge (pull and stretch to fit). Crimp the pastry around the edge of each ramekin, and brush with egg wash.
  6. Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake 35 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
  7. Remove cookie sheet from the oven, and serve.
