Preheat the oven to 425℉, making sure your rack is in the center position.
While the oven is preheating, dice your celery, carrots, and onion.
Sauté the celery, carrots, and onion in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat in butter until the veggies are soft and the onions are translucent.
Add the salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage, and paprika, and cook for about a minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the flour.
Slowly add the heavy cream, whisking constantly until smooth. Then, add the broth and whisk again. Bring to a simmer and add the peas as the sauce beings to thicken.
Add the Springer Mountain pre-cooked chicken breast strips and give everything a good stir. Set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Then, cut it into small rectangles.
Top the filling with the puff pastry strips until fully covered. Then, whisk and egg with a little water and brush the egg wash onto the crust.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the puff pastry is golden brown.

Notes
Tips
ONLY use a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet. If you don't have one of these, you can use a regular skillet to make the filling, then bake it in a 9x13 baking dish.
Whisk the filling constantly while adding the heavy cream to avoid lumps.
Cut the puff pastry into strips while your filling simmers, so everything is ready to go at the same time.
