Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup Onion
  • 1/2 cups carrots chopped
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 lb puff pastry (2 sheets total)

Instructions

  • 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.
