Chicken Pot Pies with Puff Pastry

“For those of us who LOVE pot pies, but don't have all day to make them! This quick pot pie recipe can be altered with as many vegetables and seasonings as your heart desires. It's only crust is a square of puff pastry placed over the top of the bowl, which rises and browns beautifully. Use leftover chicken, or store bought prepared chicken breasts if you're in more of a hurry!”

Very, very good. To ensure a smooth sauce, I melted the butter then added the flour. Once combined, I added the chicken broth. The sauce needed some salt, and I added some garlic powder too. I used leftover corn, carrots, and asparagus, plus the potatoes. The Swiss cheese on the bottom is wonderful - don't skip it or substitute a different flavor. I will make this again.

Yummy. Try using 2 cups broth and 1 cup milk. I add Bell's seasoning too. (I also use Yves meatless "chicken" strips and vegetable broth.)

I added some chicken bouillon to the gravy as well as some chicken seasoning. I also added in some salt as I used low-sodium chicken broth and it was fabulous. My husband loved it. The puff pastry cooked up beautifully and the recipe was sooo easy. You can put in any type of vegatable you want. This one is a keeper.

This was so easy to make and delicious. I omitted the cheese and substituted with soy margarine, vegetable broth and soy chicken. I was able to get six smaller lunch size pies out of the recipe. They freeze well.

This was the best pot pie I've ever tasted!!! But instead of making individual pies I made 1 in a glass deep dish pie pan and used thinly sliced sharp Cheddar cheese on the bottom. I also used cream of chicken & mushroom soup. Very Yummy!!!

I only used half a stick of butter, and omitted the cheese. I enjoyed the puff pastry but my husband says he prefers plain pie dough on top. This was okay, no wow factor, but a nice everyday simple flavor. I kicked up all seasonings, with a good 10 shakes of hot sauce and it still seemed bland. Needs more garlic, onion, maybe a touch of white wine?

Tasty and easy. I cooked the potatoes and carrots instead of using canned and added some cooked celery. I made the inside part in the morning and refrigerated it until just before dinner when I assembled them and slid them into the oven.

This tasted good, but don't let the 4 servings fool you, this recipe made about 10 servings.

Boy was I impressed with myself on this one! The swiss tasted delish. I used a veggie bouillon cube instead of the spices to flavor the broth. To save time I used 1 can of mixed vegetables and next time I'll make the extra effort and use fresh. I felt like a real cook when that awesomely browned and puffy pastry top came out of the oven!

the first time i tried this, it was too soupy. the second time i made it, i added about 2 cups of chicken broth. the sauce was very thick going into the pot pies, but after baking, it was perfect. i also tried mozzerella cheese the second time, and liked it better than the swiss.

Okay, but not our favorite. We really didn't care for the puff pastry as we preferred more crust to our pot pie. I didn't have swiss cheese, and after reading reviews glad I didn't. Easy to make, but no WOW factor. I added a handful of peas to ours.

I LOVE chicken pot pie but I'm sorry to say I was disappointed in this one. The swiss cheese just didn't go with it at all. The puff pastry was still doughy even after 5 extra minutes of baking. The filling wasn't spectacular either. Hubby is the only one who ate his entire serving. I did like the cooking method of individual servings baked in separate bowls. The puff pastry was a nice idea but it didn't cook on the bottom enough. I was hoping for something much more.

we loved this. I used frozen corn and broccoli instead of canned potatoes and fresh carrots. Yummy. I also baked it in 2 bread pans instead of small bowls-- then each person got 1/2 of the "loaf"

This was delicious! The crust is just like KFC's potpies. I made mine in a casserole dish, and I used closer to 3 cups of chicken broth (that's 1 1/2 cans) & it was just the right consistency. And I used frozen mixed veggies instead of just carrots. I omitted the swiss cheese, although I'd like to try it with next time. I will definately make again, but next time I'll cut back on the amount of pepper (a little too hot for me, but it'd be great for pepper-lovers).

This was great! My husband loved it!! I used Lipton Onion Soup mix instead of the dried onions (it was all I had) and used a whole bag of frozen mixed veggies instead of just carrots. Very very easy and quick.
