Are
you in charge of bringing something to your potluck Xmas family dinner? Or, are you entertaining during the holidays? These adorable mini chicken pot pies are impossibly easy & quick to make and they will delight all your guests!
This is another recipe created for Janes as part of the #cuisinezavecjanes challenge. I am grateful for their continued confidence! For these little pot pies, I used Janes’ fully cooked carved chicken breasts. It’s definitely a great shortcut since the chicken pieces are all ready to use. Another good shortcut are ready-to-use frozen tart shells, because, well, aren’t we all a bit frazzled at this time of year? For me, with all the other preparations for the holidays, preparing and rolling down the dough just wasn’t an option this time. But if you have time, my favorite local chef Ricardo has a great recipe for a perfect shortcrust pastry that you can use.
Enjoy!
