Easy Pot Pie Recipes
Oh, how I love pot pies. They’re a blissful, comforting indulgence whether they’re made completely from scratch or with the help of a quick and easy store-bought pie crust or a sheet of puff pastry.
Topped with biscuits, tucked under a crust, made spicy with green chile, filled with leftover roasted vegetables or a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, there’s no end to the ways you can pull together a pot pie.

Pot Pies are a terrific way to use up leftover meats and vegetables. If you have leftover turkey or ham in the house tomorrow, swap that for the chicken in this puff pastry pot pie.
Extra crescent rolls in the fridge? Try a crescent roll pot pie next time. An extra can of biscuits? Biscuit topped pot pies work well that way too.

Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry
You can assemble your chicken pot pies with puff pastry in a couple of different ways. Pour the filling into a greased 10-inch (or 2.5 quart) baking dish and then top with a sheet of puff pastry. That’s about as easy as it gets.
Alternatively, you can divide the filling into individual ramekins or smaller oven-safe baking dishes. Then cut the puff pastry to fit each dish.
An easy way to trim the pastry to fit is simply to turn the dishes over on the sheet of pastry and use a paring knife to trim around each one. Similar to these miniature biscuit topped pot pies, puff pastry pot pies make for really cute individual presentations too.
Chicken Pot Pie Recipe with Puff Pastry
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease an 8-inch baking dish with butter. Set one sheet of puff pastry on the counter to thaw.
In a large deep skillet, over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and celery and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Slowly stir in chicken broth and whisk to combine.
Add the milk along with the salt, pepper, and celery seed. Reduce heat and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken and vegetables. Then add the rosemary and parsley. Stir to mix throughout. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Puff Pastry Pot Pie Recipe
Top with a sheet of puff pastry. Seal the edges and cut away any excess dough. Make a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape while baking. Brush the crust with an egg wash, if desired.
To make an egg wash, whisk together one egg with about a teaspoon of water and brush this mixture over the crust before baking. (The egg helps the crust brown beautifully.)
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling hot and the crust is golden. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Do you make the pot pies as any other pie. Do you line the ramekins with pie crust or only put a top on the pie? Thanks
Mary says
Hi, Kathy! You can make them either way, however I usually just top the pies with pie crust. The ramekins don’t get lined with crust. Enjoy!
