Description

This Individual Chicken Pot Pie made in the air fryer features a flaky, buttery crust filled with a creamy, savory mixture of shredded chicken, tender vegetables, and a rich sauce. Perfectly portioned for one, these pot pies are quick to prepare and deliver comforting home-cooked flavors with a crispy, golden pastry finish.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup milk or cream
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Crust

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onions and Make Roux: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux, which will thicken the filling.
  2. Add Liquids and Thicken: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk (or cream), stirring continuously. Cook the mixture until it thickens and becomes creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Mix in Chicken and Vegetables: Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through, then remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly to thicken further.
  4. Prepare Crust and Assemble: Roll out the refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry and cut circles large enough to fit small ramekins or air fryer-safe dishes. Spoon the cooled filling into the dishes. Place the pastry circles over the filling, sealing the edges by pressing gently. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  5. Air Fry the Pot Pies: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared pot pies in the air fryer basket, ensuring they have space around them. Air fry for 16 to 18 minutes until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pot pies from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the filling to set and makes them easier to eat.

Notes

  • Taste & Texture: Enjoy a flaky, buttery crust with a creamy, savory chicken filling and tender vegetables in every bite.
  • Storage: Store cooked pot pies in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze unbaked pot pies for up to 2 months, wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn.
  • Reheating: Reheat by air frying at 350°F (175°C) until heated through and the crust is crisp again.
