EASY MINI CHICKEN POT PIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place 4-6 ramekins inside a larger baking dish or baking sheet. This prevents spills in the oven and makes it easier to transfer.
• In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottom saucepan, heat the olive oil, onions, celery, and bell peppers over medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
• Stir in the diced chicken, flour, and seasonings and stir to combine then cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add water, heavy cream, and the peas and carrots then bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
• Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is very thick.
• Remove from heat, and divide the mixture between the ramekins.
• Cut the puff pastry into circles the size of the ramekins and place them on top of the filling mixture.
• Brush the tops of the pastry with melted butter.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.

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!

SPICY CAJUN CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the pie dough on a baking sheet and brush with a little milk. Sprinkle with the thyme and 1/4 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Break into quarters.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and remaining 3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the potatoes and 2 cups water. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked and the liquid is thickened, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken and jalapenos and simmer until the chicken is heated through, about 3 minutes. Thin the sauce with a little water if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve in shallow bowls with a portion of pie crust.

• Preheat the oven to 400˚. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the celery, bell pepper, onion and Cajun seasoning. Sauté until the vegetables start to turn translucent, about 8 more minutes.
• Stir in the chicken. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and chicken and stir. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring gently. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, and then stir in the bouillon cube until dissolved. (The flour will combine with the chicken broth to create a delicious gravy.) Stir in the heavy cream. Cook over low heat until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Put six 8-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Unroll the pie dough on a floured surface. Using a ramekin as aguide, cut out 6 circles of pie dough that are slightly bigger than the ramekin.
• Divide the chicken mixture among the ramekins. Place the dough rounds on top.
• Cut small slits in the top and press the dough gently against the sides of the ramekins to seal. Bake for 30 minutes,or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
