We traded (notoriously dry) chicken breasts for thighs; turned up the seasoning; and tucked the chicken, mushroom, and cream sauce mixture into mini pot pies.
1
Melt butter in a very large skillet over medium heat. Cook mushrooms and green bell pepper, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender and chicken is almost cooked through, about 7 minutes more.
2
Stir in flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder, and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
3
Stir in 1 1/2 cups milk, hot water, and bouillon. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Stir in red peppers. Divide mixture evenly among 6 (8-ounce) ramekins or baking dishes.
4
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
5
Roll out puff pastry sheet to a 10x15-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut pastry into 6 (5-inch) squares. Top each ramekin with a pastry square. Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl. Brush pastry with egg mixture.
6
Arrange dishes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.
