Chicken Pot Pies

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons canola or olive oil divided
  • ½ cup chopped parsnips
  • ½ cup chopped carrots
  • ½ cup pearl onions
  • 1 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped fresh asparagus spears
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust softened as directed on package

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat four 10-ounce oven-safe custard dishes with 1 tablespoon canola or olive oil; place on baking sheet and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add parsnip, carrot and onions; cook 5 minutes until just tender, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms; cook 2 minutes more. Stir in broth, flour, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Stir in asparagus; cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Add cooked chicken.
  • Meanwhile, roll pie crust into a 12-inch circle on floured work surface. Invert a custard dish onto crust and use a paring knife to cut around the dish leaving 1/8-inch overhand, cutting 4 rounds total. Discard remaining crust.
  • Ladle filling into custard cups. Top each with a round of crust and press the edges to seal. Cut a slit in the center of each pot pie.
  • Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until crust is browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving; sauce will thicken as it stands.
  • Enjoy!
