I've decided I'm making individual Chicken pot pies for dinner tomorrow night. I love them but I've never made them. I know it's more of a cold weather meal, but if I wait for cold weather to make anything hearty it won't happen since Florida is always warm Looking for a tried and true recipe... I have one from Ina and Emeril and they both look good... any suggestions or helpful hints for success?
TIA!

I use something very similar to this:

I use more milk and add some cream.
I have steamed potatoes and onion, then added mixed frozen vegetables - that's my shortcut.

We love crust! I bought some mini pie pans similar to these:

When feeding MEN, I have four small cast iron skillets and make my pies in them...top and bottom crust. They are about double the mini pie pans.

I was just thinking about this today . . . individual chicken pot pies (actually a whole meal served in tea cups was what I was REALLY thinking about).

My thought was to roll and cut out and then bake "tops" for a chicken pot pie. Whether pie crust or puff pastry. To fit whatever you want to serve them in.

Then make the filling on top of the stove and when it is hot and bubbling -- put into what serving dish you want to serve them in (tea cups, small individual casseroles or ramekins) and then top with the "top" and serve.

(I've done that for tea cup cobbler -- and I think it would work with a chicken pie as well.

Martha, What a great idea for a ladies' lunch!

love the idea of them served in teacups...n

hubby loves chicken and leek pot pies, with mushrooms and frozen peas, corn and carrots. I make the sauce/gravy from my homemade frozen chicken stock and cream, thickened with flour and lotsa white pepper...it is delish!

Those regrigerated biscuits in a tube make a ood top crust on a pot pie. heat up meat/veggies/gravy and portion out individually or into a casserole. Plop biscuits on top and into oven... 15-20 minutes... whatever biscuits say.

We were at a fancy schmancy buffet just last week & they served tiny little chicken pot pies in little mugs.
There was only room for one chunk of meat & a small biscuit on top & just a little broth/veggie.
Delicious.

I haven't been on this site since Jan. and was wanting to make chicken pot pies and look what popped up!!! I was going to put mine in a serving dish and top with mashed potatoes. I do that when I make a meat pie with left over roast beef, my family likes the pie more than the roast.
