How to make Chicken pot pie
1. Lay the pie crust out and cut circles using a small bowl or cup.
2, Place the pie crust in the bottom of the 5" pie tins.
3. Add the filling.
4. Place the top crust on the pie and using a fork seal the edges down.
5. Cut three slits at the top of the pie.
6. Brush the egg wash over the top crust so it gets golden brown while baking.

Recipe Tips!
• Use a rotisserie chicken, always my go-to when I dont have any leftover chicken.
• Use leftovers from Thanksgiving instead of chicken.
• I use premade pie crust but if you want to make your own pie crust try this Homemade Buttery Flaky Crust!
• Feel free to switch up the veggies to whatever you have on hand.

Add chicken, corn, peas, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper, and cream. Simmer for another 5-6 minutes until it becomes thick and bubbly.
Remove from heat and let cool, the sauce will thicken. If you are freezing the pot pies bring the mixture to room temperature before filling the pies and freezing.

You should be able to get 5 mini 5" pies out of one box of pie crust. Then seal edges with a fork. Make 3 slits in the middle of the top to let the steam release.
Whisk egg white with 1 tablespoon water brush over top of crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

You could double the number of pies this makes if you only use a crust on the top.

If freezing cool pot pie filling down before freezing, Once assembled place a small piece of parchment paper over the top then wrap in foil. freeze up to three months.

For frozen pies bake at 425 for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 375 for another 40-45 minutes.
