Best 2 Chicken Pot Pie Pies Recipes

EASY CHICKEN POT PIE / PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Boil the chicken breasts in 5-6 cups water for 20-25 minutes then place on a plate to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to blend the creme of mushroom soup (you COULD use creme of celery soup as a substitute), and the chicken broth.
• Drain the carrots and peas, then add them to the soup blend.
• Slice the boiled chicken into 1/2 inch chunks and stir it into the soup-vegetable blend.
• Assemble 5, 5-inch ramekins or similar oven-proof bowls and spray them with PAM.
• Distribute the mix among the 5 bowls evenly. Fill to about 3/4 of an inch from the top edges.
• Melt the butter and pour an equal amount on top of the mix of each filled ramekin. Use all the butter.
• In another mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, white pepper and milk.
• When the flour mix is slightly thicker than pancake batter and smooth (you may have to add an additional 2 or 3 tablespoons of milk), distribute the batter on top of the butter in each of the five bowls. DO NOT stir the butter or the batter into the soup mix!
• Slightly spread the batter across the tops, using a tablespoon to do so. Do not bother to spread the batter from edge to edge.
• Place the ramekins on a cooking tray and bake at 350 degrees F. for 50-60 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and serve when the tops are golden brown.
