List of Ingredients

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

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.
