Instructions

Gather the ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square and cut it into 16 (3-inch) squares. Set the egg wash and pastry squares aside.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and position the rack in the lower third. Melt the butter in a deep 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and carrots, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle the mixture with flour and cook while stirring for 1 minute.
Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
Keep stirring until the mixture thickens, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the chicken, peas, cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper, and then 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 them to cover the entire surface.
Place the skillet on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake until the top is golden brown and filling is bubbly, approximately 20 minutes. Let it stand for 10 minutes before sprinkling with fresh thyme leaves and serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken for a quicker option.
For a healthier twist, you can use whole wheat puff pastry.
Add additional vegetables like celery or potatoes to enhance the filling.
