Mini Cajun Chicken Pot Pies Recipes

EASY MINI CHICKEN POT PIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place 4-6 ramekins inside a larger baking dish or baking sheet. This prevents spills in the oven and makes it easier to transfer.
• In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottom saucepan, heat the olive oil, onions, celery, and bell peppers over medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
• Stir in the diced chicken, flour, and seasonings and stir to combine then cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add water, heavy cream, and the peas and carrots then bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
• Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is very thick.
• Remove from heat, and divide the mixture between the ramekins.
• Cut the puff pastry into circles the size of the ramekins and place them on top of the filling mixture.
• Brush the tops of the pastry with melted butter.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
