Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
I feel like the past month the flu and colds have just been being past from one person to another in this household! Everyone has been moving slow and not having much of an appetite… So I decide to make everyone a feel good meal. I made the kids individual pies and one the the Hubby and I to share! Its a fun classic that should be whipped up at least once in the winter season!!
Cut up your vegetablesMelt down the butter and add the vegetablesCook over medium heat for a few minutesI boiled my chicken breast and then cut in up and kinda shredded it… You could also use dark and white meat… I like to buy the roasted chicken from Costco too and pull my meat from thereAdd your chicken to the potmix with the vegetablesAdd the flour and mix in… Cook for a few minutes stirring graduallyAdd the chicken broth and bring it up to a gently boilAdd the chicken bouillon Just in case you don’t know what I’m talking about 😉Add the heavy cream… Cook over low heat for 4-6 minutes while it thickens upAdd the thyme, salt and pepper and mixI rolled out my Pie Crust as directed and cut out shapes for my mini pies as well as a top for my small pot pie panfor the mini pies I layered the crust in the cups… bake for 6-8 minutes first and then fill
I didn’t use a bottom layer for the bigger dish… This is totally optional depending on what you want your pie to filling ratio to be… My kids like more crust of course… where us adults like more filling 🙂I cut out tops for the mini pies and cut slits in the top to breathI topped my other dish and just folded down the edges and added a gently pinch… you can get all fancy if you want… I didn’t feel the need! Cut slits on the top to breathBake 400 degrees for 30 minutesPull out and let cool for 5 minutesIf you made indivdual pies use a cookie sheet or pan and flip over the pies so they are upside down and slip out of the baking panEnjoy!!! My husband and I did… Oh and one of his friends that popped in un-announced! 😉How fun are little pies?? I made they using my jumbo cupcake pans!
