Instructions

In a heavy sauce pan, melt the butter and then add the flour. Cook the flour in the butter until golden brown.
Stir in the milk and the chicken broth. Continue cooking until you have a nice, thick, delicious cream sauce.
Add a cube of chicken bouillon and salt and pepper; season to taste.
Add the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables and continue to cook until everything is combined and thickened.
Roll out your pie crust.
Place the mini pie pans on top of the crust and cut out 2 sets of discs...one set for the bottom crust and one set for the top crust.
Fit the first set of pie dough discs into bottom of the pie pans.
Add the chicken pot pie filling into the bottom crust.
Place the top crust over each of the mini pot pies.
Seal the edges of the crust and cut slits in the top crust.
Bake in a preheated 375° F oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

This recipe will make 1 full size chicken pot pie or four to six mini pot pies.

If you are making one whole chicken pot pie, the cooking time should be increased to 30 to 40 minutes.

You can use your own homemade pie crust recipe or you can use store-bought pre-made pie crust.

I have made this recipe using homemade pie crust and store-bought.
