These mini chicken pot pies are made with creamy chicken cubes, sauteed vegetables, and topped with an easy baked puff pastry crust. And the best part, their mini!
Start off by melting 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Then add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and 1 minced garlic clove. Sauté for a few minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Then add in 1/2 cup of chopped carrots into the skillet and stir them for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped chicken- Now bring the heat up to high and toss in 1 pound of chopped chicken breast. Keep mixing the meat until it’s fully cooked through.
Brown the flour- Now add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir it for a few minutes until no more patches of dry flour appear.
Stir in the broth, cream, and spices- Now you can pour in 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir that all together and let the sauce come to a simmer.
Then add 1/4 tsp dried Thyme, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp Salt.
Then continue stirring the spices in for another few minutes and to let the ingredients infuse together.
Add peas and corn and fill up the ramekins- Now add 1/2 cup of frozen peas and 1/2 cup of frozen corn. And let that come to a simmer once more.
Take out 8 (4 oz) ramekins and fill them with the chicken pot pie filling.
Top with puff pastry, egg wash, and bake! Now place your thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and cut out 8 circles.
I like to use one of the ramekins as a guide so I just press it into the dough and cut around it leaving about 1/2 inch border.
Now you can take your cut out circles of puff pastry and place them directly over each filled ramekin.
Then make the egg wash by combining one large egg with a teaspoon of water. Then brush it over each pot pie. And bake the mini chicken pot pies in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-22 minutes.
