Description
Creamy Chicken Pot Pie for Two served in ramekins.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 small white onion, diced
- 1 small carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or cream)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup (heaped) shredded cooked chicken
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed overnight in fridge
- 1 egg yolk, for crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- In a small saucepan, make the filling: add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, and cook for 30 seconds while stirring.
- Add the stock, milk, thyme, salt and pepper. Let this mixture come to a simmer. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
- Stir the cooked chicken into the mixture and remove from the heat.
- Ladle the chicken filling mixture into the serving dishes.
- Remove the pastry from the packaging, and unroll it. Cut it in half, and place the remaining half back in the box for another use. Roll out to cover both serving bowls.
- Cut out the pastry circles, and place one on top of each bowl. Brush the egg yolk over the crust.
- Bake for 15-19 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
