Individual Chicken Pot Pies { From Scratch } by Alyona's Cooking August 25, 2015 written by Alyona's Cooking August 25, 2015 Jump to RecipeThese individual chicken pot pies are so scrumptious and filling. This comfort classic is individually packed with diced vegetables and a creamy gravy sealed in a flaky homemade dough. No ramekins needed…Although this does take some time to make it’s well worth it. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be freezer friendly since some supermarkets carry chicken pot pies in the freezer section. This recipe makes 12 (2 x-large muffin tin forms) individual size chicken pot pies. I really like that these are individual servings and make for a great presentation. Not only do they look appealing but taste amazing. One of these pies is very filling since each little pie is packed with vegetables and filled with a creamy gravy. Not too runny or dry. Try this satisfying comfort classic.So lets begin…Ingredients for the dough:Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl: grate cold butter into the flour and cut the butter into the flour until coarse crumbs form. Add very cold water (preferably water that has been in ice. DO NOT add ice cubes to the dough) to the crummy dough;Stir with a wooden spoon just until dough has formed and no longer sticks to the bowl; cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. (I recommend over night).After dough has chilled, you can start the filling. (Do not take dough out of fridge at this point, you want it as cold as possible).Ingredients for filling;Fill a medium size sauce pan with water half way full; bring to a boil and add chicken, carrot, and potato; boil for 15 Minutes; remove chicken and continue cooking the carrot and potato for an addition 10-15 minutes or until tender. In a large skillet or medium saucepan heat 3 tbsp butter and couple tbsp of oil over med-high heat; add diced celery and onion and sauté until tender.Add spices and toast up for a minute or so. Then add flour and mix. Stir for about 30 seconds. Dissolve the chicken bullion cube or powder into 3 cups of water; stir and slowly add to the onion/flour mixture. Bring to a boil, whisking mixture. Add milk, then reduce heat and simmer until creamy. After sauce has reached desired consistency; turn off and pour into a large bowl to cool.Peel skins off of the carrot and potato. (Skin should come off easily). Dice chicken, carrot and potato into little bite size pieces and place in a medium-sized bowl.Remove dough from the fridge and cut into 3 equal pieces. Take one piece of dough and roll out to a 16″ by 11″ rectangle keeping remaining dough in the fridge. Cut dough in half lengthwise; then crosswise twice to form 6 squares.Each square should be approx 6″ by 6″ (it’s okay that they are square we are going to tuck and pinch the sides anyways) Roll out each square piece by an inch or so bigger so it can completely cover the muffin tin.Add 1/2 cup of vegetables into each muffin tin and 1/4 cup of gravy over the top of vegetables.Repeat process with second piece of dough, always keeping the dough in the fridge. Then taking the last piece of dough, roll out into a 17″ by 13″ rectangle and cut into circles using a cup; taking scraps from the dough and cutting with cup until you have 12 round circles. Roll out each circle to about a 5″ circumference (it should completely cover the muffin hole by about an inch)Place circled dough over each filled pie and seal sides, pinching down the dough and crimping the sides to form a little pie crust.Slit the tops with a sharp knife; Place prepared pies in the fridge and refrigerate for an hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush egg wash over each pie and bake for 30 minutes; remove from oven and cool before serving.5 from 1 voteIndividual Chicken Pot Pies { From Scratch }Prep Time: 1 hour 30 minutesCook Time: 30 minutesTotal Time: 2 hoursServings: 12 servingsAuthor: Alyona's CookingThese individual chicken pot pies are so and made in a muffin tin!
