Individual Chicken Pot Pies

Chef notes

Meat pies were a popular food in medieval Europe. They were easy to store, carry and eat. This modern twist has a fluffy pastry top over a creamy savory middle!

Technique tips: Remember to thaw the puff pastry overnight in the fridge. If you forget to move the pastry to the fridge the night before, take it out of the freezer before you preheat the oven and let it thaw on the counter until it feels soft. Remember to wash your hands after touching raw meat, and ask a grown-up for help using sharp tools, the stovetop, and oven.

Swap options: These tasty pot pies can be made vegetarian by using plant-based chicken alternatives and vegetable stock. To make one big pot pie, place the filling in an 8-inch square baking dish. Then put the whole sheet of puff pastry tightly on top.
