Chicken Pot Pies
Remember those individual frozen pot pies? Well, it’s time to step up the pre-made pot pies and make your own homemade Individual Chicken Pot Pies! Served in ramekins or small bowls, these pot pies are an impressive dish to share with friends and family or make for an intimate candlelight dinner.
Chicken Pot Pies Recipe
With everyone being so busy, it’s harder and harder to find the time to make a hearty homemade meal. Pot pies have lost some popularity because they are a bit time-consuming to make. But, I encourage you to give this recipe a shot. It is loaded with chicken and vegetables, and with store-bought pie crusts available, it doesn’t have to take all day! But, don’t forget about my no-fail pie crust recipe if you are feeling motivated!
The Best Crust for Chicken Pot Pies
In a pinch, this recipe will work with a store-bought double pie crust, but I highly recommend using my homemade Pie Crust. It is 7 ingredients and takes just minutes to make. You can also make it a couple of days ahead.
How to Store Chicken Pot Pies
To freeze the individual pot pies, I recommend freezing right in the ramekin or container. After fully cooled, cover with foil or place into a freezer-safe plastic sealable bag. They are best used within 2-3 months. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Bake uncovered for 10-30 minutes at 425˚F. (If you are baking 1 at a time, the time will be about 10-15 minutes.) You can also reheat them in an air fryer.
