Ingredients

  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 cup diced sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup diced celery root
  • 1 cup diced parsnip
  • 1 large white onion, diced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the chicken stock in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil and add the Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes, celery root, parsnip, and onion. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and simmer for 10 minutes longer or until the chicken is just cooked. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the stock with a slotted spoon and reserve.
  • Place the flour in a mixing bowl and gradually add the milk, whisking it into the flour until well blended. Add this mixture to the stock and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Add peas, parsley, cilantro, hot sauce, and the reserved chicken and vegetables to the stock and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place four 16-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet. Fill the ramekins with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  • Cut the puff pastry into 4 pieces and lay each one over a ramekin. Gently press the dough over the edges of the ramekins.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Place the hot ramekins on serving plates and enjoy.
