These Mini Chicken Pot Pies are made with a flaky Puff Pastry crust. These mini pot pies are filled to the brim with delicious chicken and melt-in-your-mouth veggies.
The gravy for the chicken pot pie is creamy, flavorful, and absolutely tasty!
Preparing the Mini Chicken Pot Pies
Making this recipe is relatively easy. Instead of making one large pie, you just reduce the ingredients to create these mini pies.
The trick to these pies is creating a smooth and creamy gravy for your filling. Getting the consistency right for these pies will make all the difference when creating this dish.
Boiling the chicken and veggies together while creating the gravy allows making this dish in a small amount of time.
Puff Pastry
When you purchase puff pastries they are frozen. To allow the process to go smoothly, allow the puff pastry to thaw before making these chicken pot pies.
That way, when it's time to top the ramekins off, the puff pastry will be easy to work with. Pinch the pastry down over the ramekins to hold them in place.
Changing the temperatures during baking will allow the puff pastries to brown evenly and not burn. Place the ramekins onto a baking dish to make it easier to pull them out of the oven and catch any over-spills.
Starting out at 425° and reducing the heat to 400° creates a beautiful brown and flaky crust. Allow the ramekins to cool - they will be very hot to the touch!
