Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Everyone loves these chicken pot pies and they are so cute.
I make these in my Demarle muffin tray (since it is super non stick and you don't use pam, flour, oil, etc.) They just pop right out! Super easy and looks like it took hours!
1 roll of ready made pie crust dough or puff pastry dough
2 Tbsp. butter
2 chicken breasts
1 carrot
3-4 red potatoes
1/2 of an onion
salt and pepper to taste
3-4 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 - 3/4 cup milk (or half and half)
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Roll- out ready made pie crust dough or puff pastry dough (I prefer the puff pastry)
Cut the dough and line the muffin trays with the dough.
Place 2 tsp. olive oil in skillet and cook 2 chicken breasts that have been chopped into bite size pieces. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Now saute 3-4 red potatoes (that have been chopped into bite size pieces) in approx 2Tbsp. of butter in the skillet.
After about 4-5 minutes add 1 chopped carrot and 1/2 of a chopped onion (celery too if you want). Cook until all veggies are tender. Add chicken back into skillet. Sprinkle 3-4 heaping Tbsp. of flour over food in skillet. Stir and let cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk (depending on how thick you want your filling to be). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place 1 spoonful of filling into each dough filled muffin space. Close the dough around the top and press together to seal close. Sprinkle a little bit of shredded cheese on top of each pot pie. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve hot. I like to serve with rolld or biscuits.
