Chicken Pot Pies with Puff Pastry Crusts

I recently made this for my picky toddler - we have food allergy issues, so I used raw goat milk instead of cream. I only used carrots, onions, bok choy/leeks (I was out of celery & needed to use these items), and fresh green beans.

It was DELICIOUS!!! I made the full amount, but only cooked 1/2 of it. The remainder froze very well & I plan to use it in the future for another "easy" batch.

Wow! This was SO good! I followed the recipe except substituted LeSueur canned peas as I had them on hand. I sauteed the veggies for 20 minutes. I used a grocery store rotisserie chicken and baked the pies about 25 minutes. I will freeze the leftover veggies & sauce for another time. We will definitely make these again!

this is an easy and delicious recipe...got rave reviews. The only changes I made was: I sauteed the onion and celery (didn't do the carrots) and when when it called for adding the peas, I added frozen mixed vegetables (thawed), it already has the peas and carrots. It was wonderful.

Excellent. I made a casserole out of it. I microvaved 1 diced diced potato with about half a cup of carrots until soft, then added them later. I also added about 1/2 tsp. chicken soup base. Used a 2 pack of frozen puff pastry and a greased 9x13. Rolled one sheet out for the bottom - poked holes in it then lightly browned for about 5 min.
