SAVORY INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil. Lightly grease six 12-ounce oven-safe ramekins and place on the baking sheet for easy cleanup.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Add leeks, onion, 1/3 of the chopped celery, and garlic; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, potatoes, and bay leaves. Season with pepper, salt, thyme, sage, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 25 minutes.

• Roll puff pastry out slightly. Flip one of the prepared ramekins upside-down on the pastry; cut out circles 1/2 inch larger than the ramekin.
• Fill each ramekin 3/4 full with the chicken mixture; do not fill to the top or it will make a mess in your oven. Place cut rounds of puff pastry over the tops and press around the edges to seal. Brush egg wash over each. Be sure to put a few knife slits on top of each pie to allow to vent.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is a golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 10 to 12 minutes before serving.

• Cut puff pastry to cover each mug. Cover mug with puff pastry and press down around rim to adhere.
• Brush puff pastry with melted butter. (Optional, I think it makes the pastry look prettier).

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES (FOR 4)

Steps:

• Prepare all vegetables and place in a large bowl. Place garlic into a separate small dish.
• Chop chicken breasts and place into a medium bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoons pepper, 1 teaspoons salt, garlic and onion powder, and parsley. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoons olive oil in deep dutch oven. Sear chicken pieces in hot oil until no longer pink. Remove from pot to set aside.
• Add additional olive oil to pot and heat up. When hot add all fresh vegetables, minus frozen vegetables, potato, and garlic. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until soft and tender.
• Add garlic and stir continually for about 3 minutes and very fragrant but not browned.
• Add all flour to vegetable mixture and incorperate very well. Let mixture cook about 5 minutes total to cook off flour taste.
• Immediately add all liquid (broth, milk, cream) and stir very well to not form lumps.
• Bring to a light boil and add chicken, potato, and frozen (thawed) vegetables, salt and pepper.
• Check for thickness of gravy and if too thick you can add more of any of the previous liquids used from begining.
• When hot and bubbling and seasoning and thickness of gravy is suitable to you, devide mixture into individual ramekins. Your size of ramekin will determine how many servings will achieve per recipe. This amount of mixture was enough for 4 medium large (approx. 4 in") ramekins.
• Using a sharp paring knife cut dough large enough to fit the top of ramekin. Place dough over mixture and seal edges.
• Brush all with last remaining 1 tablespoons cream, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes, until crust is brown.
• Enjoy.
• If using frozen from freezer, place aluminum foil over top of potpie for first 30 minutes and bake until bubbly and brown. May take longer in oven due to frozen state. Adjust accordingly.

• Remove dough from the refrigerator and divide into 5 balls. Roll 4 of the balls on a lightly floured surface into circles that are large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the soup bowls. Roll out the last ball of dough. Cut out 4 circles, each slightly larger than the size of each bowl opening.
• Press bottom crusts into each soup bowl and fill with about 1 1/2 cups filling on top. Top with smaller dough circles and press dough together to seal.

• Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours.
• Remove chicken when cooked through and allow to cool. Use forks to shred meat from the bones. Add back into crock pot, and taste to see if needs more salt, etc.
• Spoon into single serving sized small glass bowls. I use Pyrex bowls with lids. Roll out crescent dough and cut into circles that cover the bowls.
• Bake at 375 until the crescent dough is nicely browned.
• Allow to cool and enjoy. Or snap the lids on the bowls, stick them in the fridge and take to work or school for great lunch!

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIE / PIES

• Scoop chicken mixture into bowls. Leave about an inch from the top.
• Fold the dough over the top of the mixture.

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: Place the chicken breasts in a large stockpot along with 2 teaspoons of the salt and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate to cool, reserving 3 cups of the broth; supplement with canned chicken stock if you are short. When cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine the potatoes and the remaining 2 teaspoons salt in a medium stockpot. Fill with water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside to cool.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Add the celery, onion and a pinch of salt and pepper; cook until the onions are soft and almost translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and, once melted, add the flour to make a roux. Cook the flour for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then add the milk and reserved chicken broth. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the chicken, corn, peas, celery seeds and garlic powder. Remove from the heat.
• Grease eight 10-ounce ramekins with butter and place on a large, rimmed baking sheet or jellyroll pan. (Alternatively, grease one 9-by-13-inch baking dish.)
• Evenly divide the potatoes among the ramekins. Spoon the filling over the potatoes, leaving about 1/4-inch of space at the top for the crust.
• For the crust: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the baking mix and pepper until well blended. Whisk in the melted butter and buttermilk until smooth. Stir in the Parmesan. Pour some batter into each ramekin and smooth over the top, being careful not to mix it into the filling. Bake until the crust is crispy and nicely browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place chicken in a pan with 1/2 of the onion and bay leaf. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer. Gently poach chicken until cooked through. Remove from liquid and dice or shred with forks in a mixing bowl. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and brown 5 minutes. Finely chop remaining 1/2 onion and add to the pan along with the celery and carrot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender, a few minutes more. Add frozen peas and heat through, a minute or 2 more. Add veggies to bowl with shredded or cut chicken. Return the skillet to the heat and add butter. Melt butter, add flour and cook 1-2 minutes. Whisk in stock and let thicken a minute or 2. Stir in cream and heat through. Add Dijon, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat and pour over chicken and vegetables, and stir to combine. Wipe a large, 6-cup muffin tin with oil or spray with cooking spray. Roll out dough and cut into 6 squares. Place each square in a cup, fill with chicken & vegetable mix. Pull in all four points of the crust over the filling so they meet in the middle, forming 6 individual pot pies. Brush pies with egg wash and bake 25-30 minutes until crisp and deeply golden. Let stand a few minutes before removing from the muffin cups.
