Equipment

1 Stove Top
1 Oven

Ingredients

1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
3 carrots peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks diced
1 onion diced
½ cup frozen peas
¼ cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1-½ cups whole milk
1 tablespoon fresh parsley + more for garnish
12 Puff Pastry Shells

Instructions

Heat a large pot to medium heat then add chicken fat (or oil), carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for 5 minutes with lid on. Then add frozen peas, chicken broth and poultry seasoning. Mix well, and cook for an additional 5 minutes with lid on.
Once the veggies are soft sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch over veggies, mix well then pour 1-½ cups of whole milk into the pot. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. Stir in cooked shredded rotisserie chicken. Cook for 5 minutes until heated through. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh parsley over the chicken pot pie mixture, stir and turn off heat.
While pot pie mixture cooks preheat oven and cook puff pastry shells to package instructions.
Once the puff pastry shells are cooked, cut out the middles, stuff each shell with chicken pot pie filling and then top with puff pastry lid. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Fat - I like to use the chicken fat rendered at the bottom of my store bought rotisserie chicken instead of using oil. Either will work or you can even use butter.
Vegetables - I sometimes like to add in sliced or chopped mushrooms and diced parsnips to my chicken pot pie mixture.
Puff Pastry Shells - You can find Puff Pastry Shells in the freezer section typically in the baking/pie area. I use Pepperidge Farm brand. This recipe calls for 12 shells which is 2 package of puff pastry shells.
Entertaining - These individual pot pies are perfect for entertaining. They work as an appetizer or as the main dish next to salad. Kids will also really enjoy these.
