INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray sides and bottom of baking dishes with non-stick cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a small pot over low heat. Stir in flour to make a smooth paste (this is called a roux).
• In a separate pan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Lower heat to medium-high. Add roux, a tablespoon at a time, to the chicken broth, continually whisking. Continue whisking until the mixture is thickened.
• Add milk, a little at a time, and continue stirring over heat until the mixture is smooth and has a pudding-like consistency. Do not allow to it get too thick as it will continue to thicken as it bakes in the crust. You can add more milk if it becomes too thick.
• Add chicken, mixed vegetables, poultry seasoning, salt, and thyme. Stir and set aside.
• Unroll the pie dough onto a floured surface. Roll dough out lightly. Using one of the dishes you are baking in as a template, cut the shape of the bottom of the dish out of the pie dough. You may need to gather pieces and reroll dough as you cut. Place a piece of dough in the bottom of each dish.
• Cut pieces out of dough to fit the top of each dish plus one extra inch all the way around.
• Fill each dish about ¾ full with the chicken filling.
• Create an egg wash by mixing an egg and 1 Tbsp milk with a fork, whipping lightly. Brush around edges of each top piece. Flip pieces over onto the tops of the filled dishes.

• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 30 minutes.

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Prepare pie crust. At the end of the chilling time, start the pot pie filling. (If using store-bought, frozen crust, remove from freezer so you will be able to cut it.) Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
• In a medium pot, combine cubed chicken, carrots, celery, onion, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are just fork tender.
• Drain chicken broth into a separate container (do not discard).
• Measure out 1 cup of reserved broth (you can discard the rest) and 1/3 cup milk. Set them next to the stove.
• In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook until flour is golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Slowly whisk in broth and milk, whisking out any lumps as they form. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Remove gravy from heat, stir in salt and pepper and chicken and vegetable mixture, and divide between 2 12-ounce ramekins.
• Allow chilled dough to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly so you can roll it out without it cracking.
• While your dough sits, make the egg wash. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk, and set aside.
• On a well-floured surface, roll out the first disk to 1/8-inch thick and drape over the first filled ramekin. Trim the extra, leaving about 3/4-inch overhang. Gently press the edges over so the dough drapes over the sides slightly (it won't sit flush). Use a sharp-tipped serrated knife to cut a couple slits in the top for steam to escape.
• Repeat with the second crust and ramekin. Brush egg wash over the top of the pie crusts.
• Place ramekins on your prepared baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until tops are golden and filling inside is bubbly.

TRADITIONAL CHICKEN PIE

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large pan. Stud the onion with cloves and add it to the pan with the carrot, bay leaves, stock cube and peppercorns. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked. This will take about 45 minutes-1¼ hours, depending on the size of the chicken.
• Meanwhile, make the pastry. Sift the flour and salt together into a large mixing bowl. Dice the cold butter and vegetable shortening and rub them into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in just enough cold water to form a stiff dough. Turn this out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to form a smooth ball of dough. Wrap in clingfilm or place in a plastic bag and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• When the chicken is cooked, take the pan off the heat. Remove the chicken and place it on a plate. Put the pan back on the heat and reduce the cooking liquid to about 250ml/9fl oz. Strain the reduced liquid into a jug and leave to cool, then skim off the fat and discard it.
• When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut the meat into chunks and discard the skin and bones.
• For the sauce, remove the cloves from the onion. Put the onion in a food processor with the reserved stock. Blend until smooth, then add the milk and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour. Gradually add the stock and milk, then bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes to cook out the taste of the flour. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then fold the meat gently into the sauce. Set the mixture aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 220C/210C Fan/Gas 7. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry and use it to line a 20-25cm/8-10in pie plate and add the cooled chicken mix.
• Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid for the pie, brush the edge with beaten egg and pinch the edges together to seal.
• Decorate the top of the pie with leaves made from pastry trimmings and brush all over with beaten egg. Make a hole in the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape, then bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown.

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POTPIES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring the vegetables around, until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook the flour-coated veggies for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine, if using!) and stir to combine. Let it heat up and start to bubble and thicken, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken, then add the turmeric and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Add the half-and-half, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pie crusts slightly and cut out 8 dough circles just a bit larger than the pie pans (if using a muffin tin, you'll need sixteen 3 3/4-inch circles). Press a dough circle into each pie pan (or 8 muffin cups), making sure the dough comes almost to the top of each pan. Fill the pies with the chicken mixture. Lay a second round of dough over the top of each pie. Press the dough so that the edges meet, then use a fork to seal the edges. Mix the egg with 2 teaspoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (Discard any extra egg wash.) Cut small vents in the surface of the crusts.
• If you're baking the pies right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, place the pies on a baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Serve them straight out of the pie pans or turn them out of the pan and serve them upside down!
