Chicken pot pies

written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife October 10, 2016

This Chicken pot pie is satisfyingly creamy. I’ve been making this recipe for years now, it’s one of the kids favourites and would have to say mine too as it’s not overly complicated to make, a great weeknight dinner idea.

To make this meal stretch a little further for hubby and Mr 13 to get a big feed, I add a little more now than my original recipe (shared below), an additional chicken breast, 1 carrot and 1/3 cup more chicken stock along with a splash of cream (1/4 cup).

I serve it in ramekins for myself and the girls, but my hubby and Mr 13 need something a little bigger as we have found a ramekin doesn’t fill them up. I use the Mixtur oven dish from Ikea for each of them, it’s 14cm square glass dish, big enough for a hungry mans single serve.

My kids love when I make a pie with pastry crust, as they use the left over pieces to decorate the tops of their pie, lots of fun and laughter when cooking dinner!

This may be a dumb question, but what do you serve these pot pies on? Do you put the little soufflé dishes onto a regular plate? I’d be worried that fiddling with the soufflé dish might break the plate.

I let them cool a little as the pie is really hot and I don’t want the kids to burn their tongue. I then put the dishes on the dinner plates to protect the table.

Just wondering whether you think the mixture would be ok to make the day before then just reheat put in ramekins top with pastry then bake?

hi do you think it would work as 1 pie as I don’t have individual ramekins and sounds delicious…

Reply
Belle June 12, 2015 - 4:55 PM

Silly question but if freezing… Do you cook them first and cool them and then freeze or do you freeze them uncooked in the ramekins?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife June 12, 2015 - 5:41 PM

I would make the mixture, then freeze. Then when ready to eat, defrost spoon into ramekins and top with pastry, then put in oven for 30min, this will heat mixture and cook pastry.

My question is the same as Kim’s can we make as 1 pie.

Hi ladies, sure i can’t see why not. I think they would turn out just as nice.

I am going to try you chicken pie, it sounds delicious. Instead of cream I will try Carnation lite cream and see how it goes.

That’s probably a healthier option Sue, let me know how it goes!
