CHICKEN POT PIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the middle of the oven. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners and spray generously with baking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons softened butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter begins to foam, add the onions and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and dark brown, about 8 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken and grated carrot, just to warm through. Set aside to cool.
• Whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Toss the chicken-onion mixture into the flour and then stir in the milk-egg mixture until just combined (take care not to over mix). Evenly divide among the prepared muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool the cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, and then remove. Cool on the rack completely.
• For the crust: Increase the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the puff pastry into twelve 2-inch rounds and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Poke each round a few times with a fork, cover with another sheet of parchment and weigh down with another baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the top baking sheet and parchment paper and sprinkle with the thyme leaves, salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes more. Allow to cool (these can be made a day ahead).
• For the sweet pea cream: Combine the peas and 1 tablespoon water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and cook for 1 minute. Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until blended and smooth. Add the peas and parsley, and pulse once or twice just to roughly chop the peas. Scrape into a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready for use (this can be made a day ahead).
• To assemble: Top the cupcakes with a heaping tablespoon of sweet pea cream and spread to coat. Decorate each with a piece of chicken, chopped carrots and peas. Top with a crust. Serve immediately.

EASY TAKE IT ON THE GO OR GREAT MEAL -CHICKEN POT-PIE - MUFFINS

Steps:

• I used a mini loaf pan and mini muffin pan for these.
• Mix all filling ingredients together in a bowl or if you would like to have some to pour over a loaf or three, mix in a medium pan.
• Chicken can be diced, chopped, or just pulled off the bone, but make sure the chicken is boneless.
• Chicken broth can be canned or the juices from the baked chicken, which I prefer.
• VEGGIES! you can use carrots, peas, green beans, corn, peppers, etc.
• Use a spoon to dip chicken filling into pans or whatever baking dish you are using.
• Mix the crust (flour, milk, melted butter, and seasonings of your choice) ingredients.
• Pour mixture over chicken. I do not stir it. The mixture down in the juice will make the dumplings and rise up to make the crust.
• Bake mini-muffins about 30 minutes at 350 until the middle of the loaves start to bubble. 45 minutes for Loaves, and 1 hour for 9x13 baking pan. If you make the mini muffins keep an eye on them as they cook quicker. When I bake the 9x13 dish it usually takes about an hour. just check for golden brown tops, they're done.
• Take out of the oven and let them set for about 5 minutes. PACK & TAKE WITH YOU, GREAT FINGER FOODS FOR KIDS, sac lunches, OR great OFFICE PARTY food, pot luck dinner, church meals, even HOLIDAYS!
• ALL FOLLOWING STEPS: ARE OPTIONAL, IDEAS, TRIED AND TRUE variations. To help clear up any questions you may have.
• I have seen recipes with the veg-all cans used; I just do not like the flavors.
• I use 1 or 2 cans of the baby carrots; they are in a silver can, not sure of the brand, it's the only kind my husband and daughter will eat. *- as much as you want and the types you like. We use canned green beans, freezer corn (which I saute with the onions). I use red potatoes, silver canned baby carrots. Sounds like a lot but it's not. It's very easy to make and never lasts very long with my family around.
• I have some pictures posted that have the remaining chicken filling that would not fit in the pans, cooking on the stove. I did not want it to go to waste and thought I would fix it to go over the top of the loaves/muffins as a gravy. Sadly, I didn't fix enough, for they wanted more!
• *You can substitute canned chicken (I have used 2 (12.5 oz) cans before and it was still delish!
• I do NOT boil any type of chicken (thanks to my daughter). I bake the chicken. NO boiling of chicken in of chicken in our home. I bake it with about 1 Tablespoon butter, lemon pepper, garlic salt, and about 1 teaspoon of honey; cover with foil paper; bake until tender.
• Whichever seasonings you would like can be added to the crust (flour mixture) or the chicken. I do not add any to the filling as the filling has more than enough.
• I almost mince the onions because the kids do not like them but we do :) so I saute mine and my husband's, but that is optional.
• I put 1/2 with diced jalapenos, a little tip for the spice lovers.
• (If you do not have cream of chicken soup you can use 14 oz of milk. I have used 1-15 oz can cream of chicken and 1-15 oz can cream of mushroom-BOTH delicious.
