Notes
- Fat - I like to use the chicken fat rendered at the bottom of my store bought rotisserie chicken instead of using oil. Either will work or you can even use butter.
- Vegetables - I sometimes like to add in sliced or chopped mushrooms and diced parsnips to my chicken pot pie mixture.
- Puff Pastry Shells - You can find Puff Pastry Shells in the freezer section typically in the baking/pie area. I use Pepperidge Farm brand. This recipe calls for 12 shells which is 2 package of puff pastry shells.
- Entertaining - These individual pot pies are perfect for entertaining. They work as an appetizer or as the main dish next to salad. Kids will also really enjoy these.
