Description
These individual chicken pot pies are warm, hearty, and packed with tender chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce wrapped in a flaky golden crust. Perfect for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
2 pie crusts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until a smooth paste forms.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, cooking until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
- Add the shredded chicken and vegetables, stirring until evenly coated.
- Roll out the pie crusts and cut into circles to fit ramekins. Place one crust in each ramekin, fill with the mixture, and cover with another crust.
- Seal the edges and cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor.
Add mushrooms for an earthy variation.
Swap chicken for turkey for a post-holiday twist.
Puff pastry can be used instead of pie crust for a flakier texture.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain crispness.
Freeze unbaked pies for a convenient make-ahead meal.
