Mini Chicken Pot Pies: A Flavorful and Easy-to-Make Meal

Instructions:

1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, chicken broth, heavy cream, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
2. Cut the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
3. Assemble the pies: Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pastry circle. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling and crimp to seal.
4. Bake: Place the mini pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
5. Serve: Let the mini chicken pot pies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

• Make-ahead option: Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the pies just before baking.
• Customize the filling: Add your favorite vegetables, cheese, or herbs to the filling.
• For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the filling.
• Reheat: Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
