Chicken Puff Pie




I like chicken pot pie and I like puff pastry, so I decided to combine them into one dish, a chicken pie! This isn't going to be a super precise recipe, but more like a list of things that I put into my chicken pie. 

Here is a rough estimate of how much of the ingredients I used:
  • 1 sheet PUFF PASTRY
  • 1 large CHICKEN BREAST, shredded
  • 1/2 medium ONION, diced
  • 8 oz. WHOLE KERNAL CORN
  • 8 oz. frozen PEAS & CARROTS mixture
  • 1 small POTATO, diced
  • 1/2 cup GRAVY

For 2 chicken pies, thaw one sheet of puff pastry and cut it into 4 equal sized squares. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl mix together the chicken, onion, corn, peas, carrots, and potatoes. Feel free to leave out ingredients, add ingredients, or use different proportions based on what you like. I then added some gravy to bind all of the ingredients together.


Then lay 2 of the puff pastry squares on a greased cookie sheet. Scoop somewhere between 1/3 & 1/2 cup of the filling onto each pastry and then lay the other 2 pastry squares on top. Roll and pinch the top and bottom layers together to keep all of the filling in and then bake them for 15-20 minutes! (You will probably have some filling left over to cook up for lunch or dinner tomorrow)


They should look something like this when they come out!



I have also made mini chicken pies in a muffin pan as seen in the picture below!

Yum!
