Instructions

Gather all ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 squares (3 inches each) and set aside along with the egg wash.
Preheat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the lower third. In a deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and carrots, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir constantly for 1 minute.
Stir in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Simmer while stirring until the mixture thickens, around 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the chicken, peas, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
Brush the pastry squares with the egg wash and arrange them on top of the hot chicken mixture in the skillet, slightly overlapping to cover the surface.
Place the skillet on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes until the top is browned and the filling is bubbly. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving, and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

Notes

Feel free to use any leftover cooked chicken in place of rotisserie chicken.
For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of white wine while cooking the leeks and carrots.
Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling for the best results.
