 Individual Chicken Pot Pies are perfect for a nice dinner at home!


Baking and Pastry is not the only thing that keeps me in the kitchen. I usually have a home-cooked meal on the table every night – which is a pretty amazing feat with a 4-month old. Growing up, my Mom made dinner for us almost every night. We had the occasional pizza night, but we always ate together. Sitting as a family around the kitchen table is something I truly cherish from my childhood.

It didn’t matter if we had homework or sport practices, we took a break and ate dinner together. That is how I was raised and that is how I want to raise my daughter – to take time out from our busy lives and share a meal. I don’t want to eat dinner alone, or fight to have a conversation over the television; I want to spend what little time I have eating a meal with the ones I love.

I may not make everything from scratch, and the slow cooker is my best friend lately, but I try and that is what counts.  I make food with love – that’s how my Mom and Grandmother made it and that is the most important lesson I have ever learned, do everything with Love!

I have only been blogging about the “confections” in Love and Confections. Now I am going to start posting about the Love too – the savory side of my life and the love of cooking for my family.
Individual Pot Pies
a Love and Confections original
Individual Pot Pie Ingredients:
 – 4 cups Chicken Stock
 – 1 stick unsalted Butter
 – 1/2 a large Onion, chopped
 – 1 cup All Purpose Flour
 – 12 ounces cooked Chicken, chopped (homemade, rotisserie or grilled)
 – 1-12 ounce bag Bird’s Eye Frozen Mixed Vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans and peas)
 – 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
 – Salt and Pepper
 – 1 can of Biscuits (I had a can of 10 small biscuits, but I would recommend a can of 8 larger biscuits)
Individual Pot Pie Directions:
 – Heat oven to 350F. Place 8 ramekins on a sheet pan with sides.
 – Heat Chicken Stock in a medium pan.
 – In a large pot melt the Butter and add in the chopped Onions. Cook the onions until they are soft and translucent. Add in some Salt and Pepper to your liking.
 – Sprinkle Flour over the onions and butter and stir to coat. The flour needs to be completely combined and cooked with the onions so it doesn’t have a raw taste.
 – Slowly add the Chicken Stock to the large pot, stirring while combining. 
 – Add in the Chicken and Frozen Vegetables. After everything is combined, add in the Heavy Cream.
 – Stir often and salt and pepper to taste. It will thicken as it cooks – about 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are to your liking. If you don’t like slightly crisp veggies you can pre-cook or steam them to soften. 
 – Ladle pot pie filling into ramekins and top each with a slightly flattened Biscuit
 – Bake in the oven for 14 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and done, Let it cool slightly before eating. Enjoy!
Until next time,
LOVE & CONFECTIONS!
