MINI CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE FROM SCRATCH RECIPES

Steps:

• For the crust- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour,salt, and xanthan gum.
• With a pastry knife (or a knife and fork), cut butter into flour until butter is the size of small peas.
• Add milk and combine. Add additional milk if needed. You may need to use your hands to work the milk into the dough.
• Dough should be moist and easy to roll.
• Divide dough in half and roll each ball of dough out on a gluten-free floured surface with a rolling pin until approximately 10-inches in diameter. Alternatively, roll dough between two pieces of wax paper.
• Place one circle of dough into the pie pan and trim edges if necessary.
• For the filling- In a medium saucepan, combine chicken, carrots and peas. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain; set aside. If you are using precooked chicken, cook the peas and carrots, then add in the cooked chicken after draining.
• In the same saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent.
• Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk.
• Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the chicken and veggie mixture in bottom pie crust, filing about half way. Pour the gravy mixture over the top and fill about 3/4 of the way.
• Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
• Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

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.
