Mini Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Kara
These individual pot pies are so fun to serve! They only have a top crust, so not only are they easier to make, they are healthier than double crust pot pie.

Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ cup cold butter cut into cubes
  • 4 Tbsp ice water more or less

Filling:

  • 1 cup water Save the liquid left after you cook the veggies.
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup diced carrot about 2 large carrots
  • 1 ½ cups diced potatoes 1 large potato
  • 1 ½ cups diced celery 2 stalks
  • 1 Tbsp dried minced onion
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 6 Tbsp flour
  • 1 ¾ cups milk
  • 1 Tbsp chicken base or bouillon
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cups shredded chicken breast
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup frozen corn
  • ¼ tsp salt more or less, to taste

Instructions
 

  • For crust: Pulse the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add the cubed butter and pulse a few times, until the butter is about the size of small peas. Add the ice water and pulse just until the dough comes together, adding additional water if needed.
  • Press the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill while you make the filling.
  • For filling: Place the water, salt, carrots, potatoes, celery, and minced onion in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are tender. Drain - save the liquid and add enough water to make a full cup.
  • While the veggies are cooking, make the sauce. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour; whisk and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the water, chicken base, and milk. Bring to a boil, whisking until thick and bubbly.
  • Stir in the pepper, garlic powder, chicken, peas, and corn. Heat through. Taste and add salt as needed.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray 6 10-ounce ramekins with cooking spray. Divide the filling between the cups.
  • Sprinkle your work surface with a bit of flour. Roll the dough out to a rectangle about 14x12". Cut circles that are about 1/2 inch larger than the tops of your ramekins.
  • Place a circle of dough on top of each cup. Roll in the edges of the dough and crimp it. Cut slits in the top of the pie crust.
  • Place the ramekins on a cookie sheet. (For easy cleanup, line it with aluminum foil first.) Bake on an upper oven rack at 400° for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

  • You can use a cup of chicken broth if you don't have the chicken base.
  • If you want a bottom crust, double the pie crust recipe.
