  • 1 large onion, chopped
  •  Kosher salt
  •  Pepper
  • 1 pound(s) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup(s) dry white wine
  • 2 cup(s) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup(s) frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 cup(s) chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh tarragon (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon(s) freshly grated or ground nutmeg
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten


Directions
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Oil four 12-ounce ramekins (each about 4-inch round) or a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, shred chicken, discarding skin and bones; set aside.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually stir in wine and then broth and bring to a boil. Add chicken, peas, parsley, tarragon (if using), and nutmeg. Divide mixture among prepared ramekins (about 3/4 cup each). Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 4 pieces of puff pastry (or cut out one large circle). Place pastry on top of ramekins (or pie plate).
  6. Place pot pies on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush pastry with egg and if desired, using a sharp knife, cut three slits in top of each piece of pastry. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
