Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Picky-picky hubby loves chicken pot pies, but they definitely  convey non been on my "quick fix" listing until now. This "recipe" is almost a cheater recipe, because you lot tin flaming skip the filling recipe below too simply purpose your favorite leftover chicken too gravy to build
these. 

They were thus tasty that picky-picky hubby went dorsum for seconds!! With this quick too slow technique, I tin flaming run into nosotros volition hold upward having mini chicken pot pies a lot to a greater extent than often.



2 potatoes  cubed fairly small
1 loving cup favorite veggies(I purpose a frozen pea-corn-green edible bean mix)
1/2 stalk celery chopped fine
1 tablespoon onion chopped fine
1 carrot sliced thin
1 COOKED chicken thorax modest cubed
1 underground of fridge rolls (see authorities annotation most brand)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups chicken broth (see note)
2 teaspoons chicken bullion
pepper to taste

In a large sauce pan, saute the onion too celery inwards a fiddling butter until soft. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, veggies, bullion too pepper (DO NOT ADD THE CHICKEN MEAT AT THIS STAGE). Boil most 5-8 minutes or until potatoes too carrots are fork tender.

Drain but SAVE THE BROTH!! In a medium size sauce pan, melt iii tablespoons of butter too thus add together iii tablespoons flour too stir, (cook for most a infinitesimal to handle the raw flour taste).  Add the saved chicken broth (whisk similar crazy when you lot add together the broth). Cook until the mixture thickens, too thus pose the cooked veggies dorsum in. Remove from estrus too laid aside. Note: If the "gravy' seems a fiddling thick, simply add together a distich tablespoons to a greater extent than chicken broth.

Spray a Texas size muffin pan lightly amongst vegetable spray (even if it is a non-stick pan). Roll out each fridge biscuit real sparse too house i inwards each muffin cup.

Then purpose your fingers to press the thinned out biscuit upward the sides too to the hap of each cup.

NOTE: If you lot don't convey a Texas size muffin pan, run into authorities annotation below.

NOTE: We telephone telephone underground fridge biscuits "whomp rolls" because of the audio they build when you lot "whomp" them on the border of the counter to opened upward them. I've tried several brands too they volition ALL work, but the real best i (for these mini pot pies) is a Kroger build biscuit called JUMBO butter biscuits (our Fred Meyer sells them).

Place pieces of cooked chicken inwards the bottom of each fiddling pot pie too and thus spoon the veggies too gravy over it (almost to the top).

Place the muffin pan on a cookie tray (in illustration you've filled them equally good much) and bake inwards preheated 375 oven for twenty minutes or until golden chocolate-brown too bubbly.

Remove from oven too allow sit for iii or four minutes BEFORE taking them out of the pan; this volition actually help.

Don't worry, they remain hot forever!! Use a butter knife to assistance you lot inwards lifting these out of the pan.

NOTE:  If you lot don't purpose chicken bullion, you'll convey to add together a fiddling common salt to the sauce.

NOTE: On occasion, I purchase Pillsbury Grands fridge biscuits, but they don't operate good for this recipe (too bready). The Kroger build of Jumbo Butter Biscuits curlicue out squeamish too sparse too they bake into a sparse crusty-buttery shell.

NOTE: I don't intend this recipe will operate real good inwards a measure cupcake pan unless you lot chop everything VERY modest too purpose alone one-half of a fridge biscuit (but I've never tried it).
