Individual Chicken Pot Pies

Serves 2.

Note: There will be leftover puff pastry, which can be refrozen for use later. Or double the recipe and freeze more pot pies. From "Martha Stewart's Newlywed Kitchen."

• 1 (17.3-oz.) pkg. frozen puff pastry, preferably all butter, thawed

• 2 tbsp. flour, plus more for surface

• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter

• 1/2 onion, diced

• 1 small carrot, thinly sliced

• 1 rib celery, thinly sliced

• 1 small Yukon Gold potato, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-in. dice

• 1 1/4 c. low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 c. collard-green leaves, tough stems and ribs removed, coarsely chopped

• 8 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-in. chunks

• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out 1 sheet puff pastry on lightly floured surface. Cut 2 rounds to fit individual ramekins, 1/2 inch larger all around than dishes. Cut a small X in the center of each to allow steam to vent. Refrigerate rounds on parchment-lined baking sheet.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add carrot, celery and potato. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour, then broth; bring to a boil. Add greens and chicken. Simmer until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Divide mixture evenly between dishes. Top with pastry, press edges to seal and brush with egg. Bake on baking sheet until golden, about 25 minutes.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
