Four delicious Pies with Frozen Puff Pastry Dough Crusts that are so quick and easy to make. Great for a workday dinner.Difficulty: Beginner
Servings 4
Equipment
- 4 Ramekin dishes
- Large Bowl
- Large Skillet
INGREDIENTS
Filling
- 5 Tbsp Butter
- ¼ Cup Onion - chopped small
- ⅓ Cup Flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ½ tsp. Pepper
- ¼ tsp. Oregano
- 1 ¾ Cups Chicken Broth
- ¼ Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Medium Cooked Chicken Breasts 8-10 oz. - cubed to bite-size
- 2 Cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables - Corn, Beans, Peas, and Carrots Steam-in-Bag Variety
Chrust
- 1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry Dough - 1/2 package
INSTRUCTIONS
- Thaw Puff Pastry Dough in your refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Allow pastry sheet to come to room temperature.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cut Chicken into 3/8" cubes and cook until just cooked through and white on all sides. (Do NOT overcook.) Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- Add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until tender. Whisk in the flour, salt, pepper, and oregano until well blended. Slowly stir in the broth and cream, cooking until bubbly and thickened to your desired consistancy.
- Microwave frozen vegetables per package instructions.
- Stir in the chicken and mixed vegetables and allow to heat through for just a few minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside while preparing the dough.
- Roll the sheet of pastry dough out onto a lightly floured board. Cut out four circles about 1" larger than your ramekin dishes, using an inverted dish as a template. You should get 4 circles from one sheet. Discard the trimmings.
- Spray the inside of each dish with nonstick spray. Spoon the chicken mixture into each dish, filling completely with a slight hump in the middle of each dish. Place a Puff Pastry Dough circle on top of each cup, folding the overhang inward and crimping into fluted, double thickness pie-like edge. Cut three leaf-shaped vents in each crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the insides are bubbling. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
