How to Make Individual Chicken Pot Pies

Ramekins are not just for creme brulee! It's time to take those little ceramic dishes out and use them for the Individual Chicken Pot Pies. With all the color choices out there now, it's fun to mix and match or pick out a color that makes you happy! I love the blue ones I used for this recipe–they just make me smile😀

Yes, the Individual Chicken Pot Pies are a bit time-consuming, but I assure you that the end result is so worth it! The majority of the time is chopping and dicing the potatoes and vegetables, so I suggest you put on some music or listen to your favorite podcast while you chop away!

The first thing you need to prepare is the chicken and vegetable mixture that pot pies are known for! While doing this, preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Next, add the chicken stock, milk, and bouillon. Stir this for about 5 minutes as it thickens. Mix in the chicken and the rest of the ingredients and let that simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove this from heat and set it off to the side while you get the ramekins ready.

How to Make the Pies

Be sure to grease the ramekins that you are using for the Individual Chicken Pot Pies. Take your pie crusts and cut two circles, one a little bigger than the other, for each pot pie. The larger pie crust circle will line the ramekin and hold in the chicken mixture. The smaller pie crust you cut will be the top of the pie–the piece that traps all those pieces of chicken and vegetables you just worked so hard to prepare! Vent each pie by cutting a few vents into the top crust. Then, brush the egg wash over each pie and bake for about 15 minutes.  The pies will look as wonderful as they taste! No side is needed for this comfort food, but a light dessert like my Oreo Fluff would be a perfect ending to a lovely dinner.
