  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil. Lightly grease six 12-ounce oven-safe ramekins and set them on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.

  2. 2

    Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Add leeks, onion, 1/3 of the chopped celery, and garlic; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, potatoes, and bay leaves. Season with pepper, salt, thyme, sage, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for at least 25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to blend the liquid until emulsified.

  4. 4

    Slowly stir in heavy cream. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter along with carrots, peas, and the remaining celery. Stir in chicken. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Whisk the egg and water together and set aside as an egg wash.

  6. 6

    Roll the puff pastry out slightly. Turn one of the prepared ramekins upside down on the pastry; cut circles 1/2 inch larger than the ramekin.

  7. 7

    Fill each ramekin 3/4 full with the chicken mixture; do not fill to the top or it will make a mess in your oven. Place the cut puff pastry rounds over the tops and press around the edges to seal. Brush each with the egg wash. Make a few knife slits on top of each pie to vent.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 10 to 12 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
