Chicken Pot Pie for One

These individual chicken pot pies are easy to whip up, and can only be described as savory pillows of gooey goodness. They're guaranteed to melt in your mouth and are the ultimate fall comfort food. We like to pair these mini pies with pan-fried kale or broccoli, but any oven-baked veggies work.

Ingredients (for 1 individual pie):

• 4 oz. cooked chicken (diced or shredded)
• 4 oz. frozen peas and carrots
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 small shallot (diced)
• 2 garlic gloves (minced)
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tbsp ground mustard 
• 2 tsp flour
• 3/4 cup chicken stock
• 1 canned biscuit 
• Small ramekin/s

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Melt the butter to a small pan on medium-heat. Add the diced shallot and sauté for 5 min. before adding the minced garlic gloves. Cook for another 1 min.
3. Add the parsley, thyme, and ground mustard, before adding the diced chicken and frozen veggies. Toss the ingredients so that everything is well mixed. Cook for 5 min.
4. Sprinkle over the flour. 
5. Increast the heat and pour in 3/4 cup chicken stock. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 min.
6. Pour the chicken filling to a ramekin and top with the canned biscuit making sure to cover most of the filling. 
7. Bake for 20 min. until golden brown.
8. Enjoy!
