Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add flour, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute more.

• Roll each portion of pie dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Prepare 8 individual tins or crocks by placing one, upside-down, on the dough to imprint the size needed. Cut out 8 tops; make 4 to 5 small slits in each with a knife for venting. Set aside. Use remaining dough scraps to line the bottom of the tins/crocks.
• Fill the 8 crust-lined tins with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of pot pie filling. Lay the prepared crust tops over the filling and seal with your fingers or the tines of a fork.

• In a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, chives and garlic, and saute until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
• With a ladle, fill 6ovenproof ramekins or bowls with the filling. Place on baking sheet.
• Sprinkle flour on countertop. Roll out dough an extra inch. Using a biscuit round or mold, cut out dough to cover the tops of your oven-proof bowls, with about 1/2-inch hangover, depending on their size. Crimp the dough over the edge of the ramekin.

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POTPIES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring the vegetables around, until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook the flour-coated veggies for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine, if using!) and stir to combine. Let it heat up and start to bubble and thicken, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken, then add the turmeric and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Add the half-and-half, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pie crusts slightly and cut out 8 dough circles just a bit larger than the pie pans (if using a muffin tin, you'll need sixteen 3 3/4-inch circles). Press a dough circle into each pie pan (or 8 muffin cups), making sure the dough comes almost to the top of each pan. Fill the pies with the chicken mixture. Lay a second round of dough over the top of each pie. Press the dough so that the edges meet, then use a fork to seal the edges. Mix the egg with 2 teaspoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (Discard any extra egg wash.) Cut small vents in the surface of the crusts.
• If you're baking the pies right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, place the pies on a baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Serve them straight out of the pie pans or turn them out of the pan and serve them upside down!
