These individual chicken pot pies bake up quickly for the perfect weeknight comfort meal! I love dinners that warm the home and warm the body on a cold winter day and these individual chicken pot pies do just that.
This chicken pot pie recipe is a perfect way to get kids to eat vegetables!
Filled with a mixture of fresh and frozen vegetables, rotisserie chicken, and a homemade cream sauce, they are hearty and one of my favorite easy meals with vegetables. I used to make my sauce with cream of chicken soup, but over the years, I’ve really grown to love homemade sauces and am not intimidated by roux sauces like I had been in the past because they are really easy. It definitely gives it more of a made from scratch taste.

These look so yummy!!! 🙂
Are the chicken breasts raw? Or cooked in advance?
They are cooked with the potatoes and celery 🙂
OK, so they are raw at the beginning. So many recipes start w/cooked chicken breast and I never have extra cooked chicken breast!
Oh, I am sorry. Yes. They are raw in the beginning. I never have extra cooked chicken lying around either! 🙂
this has made extra that I will wind up freezing for a second dinner (its just my dh and me) so far I’ll be starting the sauce next.
Ok not only did I love it but my dh really did, he’s not always fond of this type of meal but was very disappointed when I’d ate the last piece for lunch. LOL I told him I’d had enough to make another dinner and he cheered up….
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! It’s one of my favorites too 🙂
Where can I buy the individual bowls?
Hi Joanna! I found these at the commissary on the military base, but you can find sets like these online and you can buy individual bakeware ramekins like these at Target and Walmart. I bought some grey ones at Target last year. Hope that helps!
Hum… gonna try it in the crock pot, wonder if that would work? Then do the crust and bake when that’s all said and done?
I don’t see why not! I think it would work great in the crock pot!
