Mini Chicken Pot Pies

So I cheated in the kitchen. When my friend Debbie from Mountain Breaths gave the heads up that Williams-Sonoma was having a sale on the Breville Mini Pie Maker I jumped right away and ordered one. I'm a sucker for kitchen stuff! But I am a little baking challenged.  So I took the easy way out. Store-bought dough. Soup from a can. I know. I know. That was practice. Next time from scratch. But these mini pies were a big hit anyway.

Took a couple months to finally have a moment to use it and I am so glad I did. First time around was mini chicken pot pies. I need a little more practice, this one needed more filling so the top would have browned better. My son ate the one that was somewhat picture perfect. And it must have tasted as good as it looked because he wanted a second. And some to take to work tomorrow.






This is a basic recipe. Instead of pie shells in the tins, I used store bought pie crusts that are rolled. Two pie crusts per box, made about 6 mini pies, if you re-roll out the scraps. Next time I will try homemade dough. Hopefully. But this worked out fine.
