Instructions

Prepare The Chicken

  • Grab a Dutch oven and place it on the stove over high heat.
  • Pour 5 cups of hot water into the Dutch Oven.
  • Add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tbsp of garlic ginger paste into the water. Stir the water lightly to combine.
  • Sprinkle ½ tsp of black pepper for added flavor.
  • Using tongs, place 3 medium-sized chicken breasts into the Dutch oven.
  • Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Once cooked, take the chicken breasts out of the pot and place them on a plate. Using a fork, shred the chicken into small pieces while it’s still hot. Set it aside for later use.

Saute Onion, Garlic and Vegetables

  • Take a large skillet, Dutch oven, or Frying pan and put it on the stove over medium-high heat.
  • Add 5 tbsp of butter to the pot and let it melt.
  • Add 1 cup of minced onion and 1 tbsp of minced garlic to the melted butter. Fry the onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add 1 cup of diced celery, 1 cup of diced carrot, and 1 cup of diced potato into the pot. Saute the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they begin to soften.

Simmer and Season The Pie Filling

  • Add ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour to the mix and stir for 1-2 minutes to coat the vegetables.
  • Pour 2 cups of chicken stock and 1 and ½ cups of milk into the pot. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickens.
  • Sprinkle 1 tsp of salt over the veggie fillings.
  • Season the mixture with 1 tbsp of mixed herbs and stir to combine.

Add Peas and Shredded Chicken

  • Toss 1 cup of frozen peas into the Dutch oven and stir.
  • Add the cooked chicken you shredded earlier into the pot and stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle ½ tsp of black pepper and 2 tbsp of chopped parsley into the filling mixture.
  • Using a spoon, stir to combine everything and remove the Dutch oven from the heat.

Assemble The Pot Pies

  • Take a ramekin and fill it generously with the chicken and veggie mixture, leaving a small gap at the top for sealing it with pastry.
  • Repeat the previous step and continue filling up ramekins until all the chicken and veggie mixture is used.
  • Place a store-bought puff pastry sheet on a chopping board.
  • Use an upside-down ramekin to cut out circular pieces of pastry to fit the top part of the ramekins.

Seal and Bake The Pot Pies

  • Grab the ramekins you prepared with chicken and veggie fillings and lightly brush the edges with egg wash.
  • Place the circular pastry cut-out on top of the ramekins and fold down the edges to seal them.
  • Brush each pastry with egg wash and make 3 small slits on the top.
  • Preheat your oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius and bake the pot pies for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Grab a spoon and break through the baked, golden brown pastry to enjoy the delicious chicken pot pie fillings inside!
