• Lightly flour work surface and roll out dough a bit; cut into 4 to 6 portions (I cut rectangles to keep it easy and based on how many people I'm feeding). Cut a small hole in center of each piece of dough with a 1-inch round or heart shaped cookie cutter, or freehand cut some slits or designs with tip of sharp small knife. Using a fork, beat an egg in a small dish with a splash of water. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment and arrange dough pieces. Brush dough with egg wash and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 22 minutes.

Pour the chicken filling evenly over the bottom crust. Top with the second crust, folding the ends between the pan and the bottom crust. Pinch crusts together to seal.

• For the filling: Place 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and set over high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken, season with 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside but not dry, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside in a medium bowl.
• Decrease the heat to medium and heat the remaining tablespoon vegetable oil in the skillet until it shimmers.

Cover and set aside.
• For the crust: Combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
• Place the flour mixture and butter in a mound on a clean work surface. Use a bench scraper to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of almonds. Add the ice water, 2 tablespoons at a time, and mix into the dough, using the bench scraper, until it just barely comes together. Do not add too much water, it will come together.
• Shape into a rectangle and pound with a rolling pin until it is about the size of a sheet of notebook paper, approximately 8 1/2 by 11 inches.
• Use the bench scraper to fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Pound with the rolling pin until the piece of dough is again the size of a sheet of notebook paper and rotate 90 degrees. Repeat the pounding, folding, and rotating 2 more times for a total of 4 turns of the dough.
• Pound with rolling pin and fold the shorter sides of the rectangle in towards the center, from top to bottom, and then fold in half, like a book. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the egg wash: Combine the beaten egg and water in a small dish and set aside.
• To build the pie: Divide the warm filling into 4 (16-ounce) ramekins and place on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
• Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator. Divide in half. Return one half to the refrigerator. Sprinkle lightly with flour and roll to 1/4-inch thick and, using your ramekins as a guide, cut 2 circles that are 1/2 inch wider than the rim, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Refrigerate excess dough for another use.
• Brush each dough round with egg wash and place egg washed-side down onto the top of each filled ramekin. Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash. Bake for 15 minutes. Decrease the heat to 400 degrees F and bake until the crust is puffed and golden brown and the filling is bubbly, another 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Take pastry out of freezer to thaw while preparing filling.
• Heat gravy in large skillet.
• Cook vegetables as directed.
• Add cooked vegetables to skillet with gravy.
• Add cooked chicken to skillet.
• Pour mixture into baking dish.
• Place puff pastry over filling.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• At least 3 1/2 hours (or up to one day) before the filling is ready, roll puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a 3/16-inch-thick square. Place on a baking sheet, wrap tightly with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Remove chilled dough from refrigerator, and place on a cutting board. Directly onto the dough, invert a bowl or place a lid that is 2 1/2 to 3 inches larger in diameter than a 3-quart round casserole or souffle dish. With a sharp knife, cut around the bowl or lid so that you have a perfect circle. Return the circle of dough to the baking sheet, wrap tightly with plastic, and chill for at least 2 hours.
• Place a rack in lower two-thirds portion of the oven. A convection oven is ideal; preheat it to 375 degrees. If you don't have a convection oven, preheat a conventional oven to 425 degrees. In a large heavy-bottom pot, melt 5 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, potatoes, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and carrots are fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are heated through. Add cognac, and cook for 30 seconds. Add flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in chicken stock and milk. Bring to a simmer; cook until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, parsley, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to 3-quart casserole or souffle dish. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Make egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon water. Remove dough circle from refrigerator, and brush surface evenly with egg wash. Invert dough and place directly over the casserole, pressing lightly to seal overhanging crust to the side of the dish. Brush top surface of dough with egg wash. With a 1/2-inch large round pastry tip (Ateco #7), cut a small circle in the center of the pastry, removing the pastry circle, and insert the pastry tip, narrow side down, into cut-out hole. This allows the steam to vent.
• Transfer casserole to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes; cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent crust from burning, and continue baking for 25 minutes more. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly spray an 8-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll 1 pastry sheet into an 11-inch square. Cut remaining pastry sheet crosswise into strips and wave into a lattice on a baking sheet. Freeze lattice while preparing the filling.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk thoroughly until blended. Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking continually. Stir in Hidden Cove lemon-garlic blend, Swiss cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until everything is combined, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and vegetables.
• Fit puff pastry square into the prepared casserole dish, trimming corners as needed. Pour chicken filling into the dough. Top with latticed puff pastry, pressing and crimping the edges to seal. Brush with beaten egg.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and top is golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
