INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIE BOWLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
• In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions and parsley. Mix well.
• For the pastry, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the shortening and butter and mix quickly with your fingers until each piece is coated with flour. Pulse 10 times, or until the fat is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water; process only enough to moisten the dough and have it just come together. Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls. Divide the dough into quarters and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with the egg wash, then place the dough on top. Trim the circle to 1/2-inch larger than the top of the bowl. Crimp the dough to fold over the side, pressing it to make it stick. Brush the dough with egg wash and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in flour, bouillon, thyme and pepper until well blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and slightly thickened.
• Stir in potatoes, carrots and green beans. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Meanwhile, separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using rolling pin, roll each biscuit into a 4-inch round. Cut each round into 6 equal wedges; set aside.
• Stir chicken into vegetable mixture; return to boiling. Remove from heat. Into each of 8 ungreased 10-oz custard cups or ramekins, spoon about 1 cup mixture. Place 6 biscuit wedges around edge of each, overlapping slightly and leaving hole in center for steam to escape.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender and biscuits are golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
