Who this list is for
This list is for anyone making mini chicken pot pies for a group of six. It’s designed for cooks who want individual servings, either in ramekins or a jumbo muffin pan, and who prefer to use cooked chicken for a faster prep. If you’re hosting or need a comforting meal with easy portions, this is the right list.
How to use this list
Begin by checking your kitchen for basics like unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and kosher salt. Shop for fresh vegetables: yellow onion, carrots, and celery. Make sure you have cooked chicken on hand—rotisserie works well. Pick up frozen peas, whole milk, low-sodium chicken broth, frozen puff pastry sheets, and an egg for the topping. Lay out all ingredients before you start, and thaw the puff pastry in advance.
What to skip
Don’t use raw chicken unless you plan to cook it first; this recipe depends on pre-cooked chicken to save time. Avoid sweetened or flavored puff pastry, which can throw off the taste. Skipping the egg wash will leave your pastry pale instead of golden. Don’t overload the filling—ramekins or muffin cups need space for the pastry to puff.
What is on this list
You’ll need unsalted butter, yellow onion, carrots, celery, all-purpose flour, low-sodium chicken broth, whole milk, dried thyme, kosher salt, cooked chicken, frozen peas, frozen puff pastry sheets, and one egg. Cross off what you already have, like flour or butter, so you only buy what’s missing for the recipe.
Before you bake
Dice your vegetables and shred the cooked chicken before starting the filling. Thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions. Preheat your oven and grease your ramekins or muffin pan. Crack the egg and beat it for the egg wash. Set everything within reach so assembly goes smoothly and nothing gets missed.
