INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES WITH PUFF PASTRY

This is so yummy! Note: I wrote this recipe for my oven-safe soup mugs, but this recipe would also work well in a pie plate or 2-quart casserole. I would imagine this is enough for 4 soup mugs... It's just DH and I so we just use 2 gigantic soup mugs and fill 'em! So I would assume this would work for 4 regular size mugs...let me know how it goes! Also, we like it spicy, so we add serrano peppers! Enjoy!

Ingredients

1/4 cup carrot, chopped
3 minced garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups rotisserie-cooked chicken
1/4 cup frozen peas
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)

Steps:

Saute onions, celery, carrots and garlic in butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in flour, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly stir in chicken broth and cream. Constantly stir mixture until smooth, creamy and thickened.
Add nutmeg, cooked chicken, and frozen peas. Combine well.
Ladle mixture into individual oven-safe soup mugs.
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).
Place mugs on a cookie sheet, and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown!

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN PUFF PIES

Individual Chicken Puff Pies image

Last night I was tired and wanted to make something easy after cooking all day. So I grabbed two chicken breast fillets, some puff pastry, frozen peas, sliced leeks and ready made bechamel sauce ...... the recipe looks like a lot of work, but it really isn't - the steps are all so simple. I hope you also find it easy to throw together after a big day!

Time 45m

Yield 6 individual pies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

60 ml butter
2 chicken breast fillets, trimmed
1 leek, thoroughly washed and thinly sliced
2 cups of defrosted frozen peas
1 1/2 cups approx ready made bechamel sauce
4 frozen puff pastry sheets
1/2 cup shaved parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, to glaze and seal pies

Steps:

Take pastry sheets out of freezer to defrost.
Heat butter in frypan/skillet over medium to high heat.
Cook chicken fillets in pan for 3 - 5 minutes.
Flip fillets over, cover pan and cook fillets on lower heat for 10 minutes.
Chop cooked fillets into small pieces.
Allow to cool.
Line six individual pie dishes with puff pastry.
Distribute chicken evenly between dishes.
Distribute peas evenly into dishes.
Pour bechamel sauce evenly into dishes.
Top filling of each pie with shaved parmesan cheese.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Brush milk over edge of each pie.
Place circle of pastry topping over each pie.
Slice a 1/2 inch vent into the top of each pie.
Brush each pie with milk to glaze.
You can either freeze them now, or pop into a 200 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling hot.
Serve with potatoes wrapped in foil and baked in the oven.
Maybe a salad as well if you have the energy!
Enjoy!

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken broth and vegetables.
If you don't have puff pastry, you can use pie crust or crescent roll dough instead.
To make the pies ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. Bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Serve the pies with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
