🥧 FAQ For easy chicken pot pie with puff pastry

  • You can use cooked rotisserie chicken for this recipe

What Kind of cream do you put in chicken pot pie?

  • You can use heavy cream or cream of mushroom soup or cream of mushroom chicken. I highly suggest using cream of mushroom chicken soup as it will give your chicken pot pies the most flavor.

What's the difference between pie crust and puff pastry?

  • Puff pastry comes from many layers of stacked dough and butter and bakes light and airy. Whereas pie crust usually has a single layer of dough and bakes more solid with a slight crunch.
  • Puff pastry is made with flour, water and butter and no leavening agents. Butter is dolloped in between layers to create steam during baking and allows the layers to rise and puff.
  • Pie crust contains the same ingredients but usually contains egg and salt, too. Butter is cut in and mixed into the dough for pie crust

Should you put egg wash on puff pastry?

You can put egg wash on if you'd like! Egg wash can be used to help seal puff pastry and gives it a golden-brown shine when baked.

Where Do Pot Pies Come from?

According to an English documentary I recently watched and wikipedia, In the 16th century, the English gentry revived the custom of serving pies and the tradition soon swept the country.

A British food commenter once described them as, "which they bake in pasties, and this venison pasty is a dainty rarely found in any other kingdom."

The meat pies made by the English of that era (called pot pies in North America) would include various meats such as pork, lamb, birds and game. During the reign of Elizabeth I, English cooks made pies using “chicken peepers,” which consisted of chicks stuffed with gooseberries.

The obsession with pies spread to the New World soon after it spread across Europe when the first European American settlers took their pie recipes with them when they moved westward.

Ingredients
  

Chicken Pot Pie Crust

  • 1 Package Crescent Rolls or Puff Pastry
  • Coooking Spray

Healthy Chicken Pot Pie Fiilling

  • 2 organic chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom Chicken Soup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package frozen peas
  • 2 cups sliced rainbow carrots
  • 2 cups chopped celery

  • 1 pat butter

Instructions
 

Chicken Pot Pie Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
  • Roll out two sheets of puff pastry or Crescent rolls gently on a floured surface. Set your prepared pie crust top aside until you are ready to add it to the top of your chicken pot pie. We wil do this step later.
  • For the bottom layer of the pie crust: Spray a baking dish with coconut oil or vegetable spray and lay down one prepared bottom pie crust. Using a fork, gently poke holes in the pie crust around the edges. This will keep the puff pastry from puffing up while cooking. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes in the oven. Once the bottom pie crust is baked, set aside and let cool while you prepare your chicken pot pie filling.

Healthy Chicken Pot Pie Filling

  • In a large saucepan, add olive oil and the chicken breasts and Spice the chicken breasts with garlic powder, black pepper, garlic salt, Himalayan salt, and paprika. Add the diced onion Sauté the chicken breasts on the stovetop for 15 minutes until the juices run clear.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with a fork and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, Place a tab of butter in the same pan you used to cook the chicken and add the cream of mushroom chicken soup, frozen peas, fresh sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and celery. Sauté for 10-minutes.
  • Add the shredded chicken and mix everything together.
  • Pour the prepared chicken pot pie filling into the baking dish over the bottom pie crust.
  • Take the prepared top pie crust and carefully layer it on top of the chicken pot pie mixture. Using the same fork techinque we did earlier, poke holes into the top of the pie crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes. The crust will be golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

🥧 FAQ For easy chicken pot pie with puff pastry

  • You can use cooked rotisserie chicken for this recipe
What Kind of cream do you put in chicken pot pie?
  • You can use heavy cream or cream of mushroom soup or cream of mushroom chicken. I highly suggest using cream of mushroom chicken soup as it will give your chicken pot pies the most flavor.
What's the difference between pie crust and puff pastry?
  • Puff pastry is made from many layers of stacked dough and butter and bakes light and airy. Whereas pie crust usually has a single layer of dough and bakes more solid with a slight crunch. Puff pastry is made with flour, water and butter and no leavening agents. Butter is dolloped in between layers to create steam during baking and allows the layers to rise and puff. Pie crust contains the same ingredients but usually contains egg and salt, too. Butter is cut in and mixed into the dough for pie crust
Should you put egg wash on puff pastry?
You can put egg wash on if you'd like! Egg wash can be used to help seal puff pastry and gives it a golden-brown shine when baked.

Mini Bundt Cake Pan
1 Mini Bundt Cake Pan

Ingredients
  

Mini Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large lemon, zested

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large lemon, zested
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the mini bundt cake pan with the softened butter. You can use cooking spray too, but butter works much better.
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
  • Add eggs one at a time, alternating with flour, allowing each egg and portion of flour to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir lemon juice and zest into flour mixture until cake batter is just combined.
  • Pour prepared lemon cake batter into greased mini bundt cakes pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let the bundt cake pan cool for at-least 15 minutes before removing from pan.
  • Prepare a wire rack. After the bundt cakes cool completely, flip the bundt cake pan over and give it a tap with a wooden spoon. The mini bundt cakes should easily come out. If you are having trouble with this step, see my FAQ section below.
