Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté diced leeks, carrots, radishes, and asparagus for about 5–7 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle in flour and stir well; gradually add chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps.
Add salt, pepper, mascarpone cheese, cooked chicken, peas, lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced chives; cook until heated through and slightly thickened.
Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to fit your baking dish; pour in the filling mixture and cover with pastry. Seal edges with a fork.
