Since the weather started to change, I felt like having something warm and comforting…after searching for ingredients in the fridge and freezer, decided to make chicken pie by using puff pastry dough that has been sitting there for a while. Not to mention that I had a 1/2 pint of heavy whipped cream that was about to expired, so decided to mix and match with the ingredients available.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breast boiled and shredded
2 red potatoes
2 carrots
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
2 strips bacon (cut in small pieces)
½ cup frozen Trader Joes soycutash (or any other frozen veggie)
Fresh cilantro or parsley chopped
½ cup milk
2 tablespoon corn starch
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
Frozen puff pastry
Preparation:
In a pan sautee the bacon with onion and garlic. Add the potatoes and carrot, sautee a little longer and add ½ cup of water and cook until the potato are soft. Add the frozen soycutash, mix it well. Add the heavy cream and again let it boil. In the meantime, dissolve the cornstarch in milk. Gently add the mixture of corn starch to the chicken mix by stirring constantly. The chicken mixture will turn thick when the corn starch is cooked. Add the cilantro or parsley, once start to bubble again, turn the heat off.
Assembly:
Place the chicken mix into a baking ware, cover with the puff pastry and bake for 15 minutes at 375F or until the dough is light brown.
Be careful the pie will be very hot. Make a small hole through the dough before serving so the hot air can escape. It is absolutely yummie, dip the crust into the creamy chicken sauce. Very fulfilling!

Pot piiiiieeeeeeeee! Dang, this is a fave. Any pot pie is good, especially if the crust is nice and flakey.
My husband looooooooves pot pie. He’d die and go to heaven if I made this!
Chicken pot pie has always been one of my favorite comfort meals. It sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Yum, chicken pot pie sounds perfect right now, super comforting and delicious!
Great idea to drape the puff pastry over the bowl! It looks perfect for a cold night!
Wow! It’s so impressive! I adore chicken pot pies for the creamy richness and flaky buttery crust, perfect for a cold day!
I love to make individual pie too, easier for portion control….I love all the little bits and bobs that you have added.!!!
Chicken pot pie is my ultimate comfort food! Your pies look so yummy! it reminds me of my childhood. I’m so glad you put some bacon in there! I never thought to do that!
Love the presentation of your pot pie. I always serve it exactly the same. Lol at the blanket shape puff pastry on the top. Isn’t it lovely?
What a great way to use up the ingredients in your cabinets! Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite fall/winter foods.
This is the perfect comfort meal! It looks delicious with the puff pastry!
It has been a long long time since I last made chicken pie. Looking at yours gave me the craving all over again.
mmm the puff pastry on top looks so delicious!!
You don’t know this about me, but I am a chicken pot pie fanatic and still have not found the perfect version. This looks like it!
Juliana, there is nothing more comforting than chicken soup, chicken stew and chicken pot pie. I love this recipe. So good for this time of the year.
Oh yum! Chicken pot pie is one of my favourite comfort foods when the weather is cooler. These look delicious.
Soooo comforting. And I love that they’re individual. Way to use up your on hand ingredients
Hope you’re having a good Tuesday
I love chicken pie, but haven’t ever had a home made one. I like the idea of using a puff pastry top, rather than a pie crust topping. Looks a bit lighter and very delicious!
Chicken pot pie? One of my absolute favourites. I love the flaky puff pastry that you crunch through to reach the creamy chicken filling.
Oh man. What am I missing? I haven’t had chicken pot pie in….6 years!!! I must have some soon! Come cook for me? >.<
awesome comfort food, I like this! I must try it out some day.
That looks delicious! I love all your pictures.
MMMMMMMMMMMM,..this chicken pie looks scrumptious!!
A fab dish!
all the colors of the rainbow (almost) underneath an amazing puff pastry crust. this is my definition of comfort food, juliana–nice work!
yummy, love chix pot pie! Its amazing what you can make with the scraps and what’s about to expire in the fridge.
Chicken pot pie is true comfort food to me! Yours looks delicious; and what a great way to use up ingredients in the fridge!
Hehe that’s exactly how I made my first chicken pot pie, just using whatever I had. And somehow it always works out. Great job!
mmmm.. pie….. I love pie!
I love that you used the puff pastry–makes it absolutely doable, and we love chicken pot pie. Also…still swooning over Ina’s lobster pot pie I saw her make on the Food Network.
What a great use for puff pastry (I have somein the freezer from a Daring Bakers challenge).
This reminds me of working at Kentucky Fried Chicken in High School, but I’m sure your pot pies are way better (especially with bacon!).
Yummy, indeed! So comforting too!
Cheers,
Rosa
It’s the perfect weather for one of these!
Chicken pot pie is one of my most favorite comfort foods for fall and winter. I love your puff pastry top!
Is there anything more comforting than a warm, right-out-of-the-oven pot pie? I think not!
your chicken pie looks very comforting…
Oh, man, does this look good! We’ve got real fall weather here in Belgium, and I’m wishing I had something warm and hearty. Here it is! Thanks.
I have never made my own pot pie, but I was just saying that I want to try it. Yours looks great!
I love the way you post your pictures – adorable!!!
I love chicken pie and order it whenever we go to an all-American restaurant:) Yours looks great! Thanks for the recipe.
You’re right – perfect, comforting fall meal! I love pies like that because they are a nice way to use up veggies!
GREAT idea using puff pastry.. Ill have to try that next. Looks fantastic!
Great job, using up what you had. I think I might have some puff pastry around here I need to use, too . . .
Delicious classic comforting dish. It’s been a while since I make this. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Chicken pot pie is my favorite!! Looks great!
This chicken pie looks incredible! With the weather turning chilly, it’s exactly the kind of dish that makes you want to stay indoors and snuggle up.
I’ve never made chicken pot pie before but always wanted to. Your post motivated me to make it soon!
The recipe doesn’t show how much corstarch to use.
can you helpme with that?
Hi Jaime,
I used 2 tablespoon of corn starch in this recipe, you should dilute the cornstarch in milk before adding to the chicken mix.
Thanks for visiting my site and please let me know if you any any further question.
