Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Bites

Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry (Bites!) - It's easily one of the best ways to make pot pie! You get a creamy, richly flavored chicken and vegetable base thats topped with bite size pieces of golden brown, super flakey, buttery puff pastry. It's the ultimate cozy comfort food.

My Favorite Way to Make Puff Pastry Chicken Pot Pie

Most often you'll see chicken pot pie with puff pastry made two ways. Either prepared and baked as a whole "pie" in a single baking dish, or made in individual ramekins or bowls.

Both work but I created this variation because I wanted something easier, a dish that finished with perfectly flakey and non-soggy puff pastry, an option that didn't waste puff pastry scraps (precious!), and something that wasn't so messy.

If you bake in a single dish the puff pastry doesn't cut cleanly, and if you do individual servings it's tedious to work with single bowls and get the puff pastry to stick well. You also may likely find the end result of both said options yields a soggy layer on bottom.

This method works beautifully, and it's so convenient that the filling only needs to cook on the stove top so you can bake the puff pastry and make the filling at the same time.

And honestly who can resist those cute little puff pastry bites? I want to put them on everything and it's hard not to eat half of them before dinner is served.

All around this creamy chicken pot pie with buttery puff pastry makes for the perfect homestyle dinner!
