Mini Chicken Pot Pie... a lower in fat comfort food.

I really do not take measurements on this because its so simple

2 celery stalks
1 cup of frozen carrots
1/3 cup of onions
Diced up chicken
1/2 cup of heavy cream
Seasonings such as salt,pepper, any other
1 teaspoon of unbleached all purpose flour
And any other veggies mushrooms, broccoli,
1 sheet of phyollo dough

Saute the onions and celery. Cook the chicken and dice. Cook carrots. I use frozen.
In a pan i heat the cream and season. Before the cream is heated i put in the flour.

Let me say this it sounds so fattening...But it is so much better for you than soup in a can such as Campbell's cream of mushroom. You do not need the sodium and sugar.

Spray a muffin tin and put the dough in. Let cook about 6 minutes watch it, It cooks quickly. And then assemble by putting your cream, veggies and chicken.
I have made vegetarian also with tons of veggies.

Like I said We would serve this for lunch with a pretty salad. Replacing Patience's bread for the day. I just would never want to go back to buying the sodium filled boxed chicken pot pie. When you can make your own healthier version. Honestly making it yourself is so much cheaper. And a healthier you. I had bought the boxed kind for my older children in the past but they did not have a health problem. Now that we are cooking healthier even My daughter Simplicity doesnt like the box.

Patience has went down a dress size...recently :) Yay Patience And she is starting to have a collection of jeans. If you can remember for two years she could not wear jeans. Because she had to wear ladies clothing. My sweetie has come far. :)
