Cooler temperatures bring oven-baked comfort food around our house so I perused a variety of chicken pot pie recipes & selected my favorite things about each one & put my own spin on this classic dinner.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I came up with to fill six 10 ounce ramekins:<\/p>\n

4 boneless chicken breasts<\/p>\n

4\u00a0 potatoes<\/p>\n

1 bag of frozen veggies<\/p>\n

1 can of cream of chicken & mushroom soup<\/p>\n

1 cup milk<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup melted butter<\/p>\n

2 packages of crescent rolls<\/p>\n

1 tsp thyme<\/p>\n

1 tsp garlic powder<\/p>\n

1 tsp onion powder<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp salt<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp pepper<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Boil chicken & potatoes until tender, then chop into small pieces.\u00a0 Follow cooking directions on the frozen vegetables bag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mix the soup, milk, butter & spices in with the chicken, potatoes & veggies and place in ramekins.\u00a0 Pinch crescent rolls together so they make a rectangle & cut into 3 strips.\u00a0 You should have a total of 24 strips after you cut up the two packages of crescent rolls.\u00a0\u00a0 Lay them over the chicken mixture.\u00a0 Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown & a bit bubbly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You probably could serve this up casserole style if you didn’t have the ramekins but I love the presentation of the individual dishes.\u00a0 They just seem to make a normal weeknight dinner a bit fancier.<\/p>\n

These babies turned out far better than those frozen ones in cardboard boxes I grew up with as a kid.\u00a0 This was Jule’s first time trying this classic American cuisine & she was a big fan!\u00a0 We’ll definitely be putting this on the monthly dinner list.<\/p>\n
