Recipe: How to Make Individual Pot Pies

These individual chicken pot pies are a snap! The Girl practically begs me to make chicken pot pies each week. When she asked what was for dinner tonight and I replied Chicky pot pies, she was one happy camper. For me, making dinner ahead of time is key. I like having it done and out of the way so when the HH calls to say he is on his way home all I have to do is heat up the meal and we’re good to go.  Being prepared makes dinner time less stressful.

Ingredients

3 cooked chicken breasts, shredded*
1 can of corn kernels, drained
2 medium potatoes, cooked and cut into chunks
1 jar Heinz chicken gravy
1 egg {for egg wash}
1 homemade double pie crust
salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl combine chicken, corn, potato, gravy, salt and pepper and combine.  Scoop  mixture into individual pie plates or large ramekins.  Cover with pie crust and brush an egg wash over the top.  Bake at 350 until gravy bubbles and pie crust tops are a nice golden brown {about 30-45 minutes}.  Cool slightly and serve.  Yield 4 servings.

*I toss chicken into the slow cooker and sprinkle a packet of taco seasoning over the top with 1/2 cup of water. If thawed the chicken is done in about 3 hours.
