Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Can use rotisserie chicken for convenience
  • 1 cup butter chicken sauce Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots Mixed vegetables work well
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder Adjust according to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets Ensure they are halal certified
  • 1 egg beaten For egg wash
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure that the pies bake perfectly.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, butter chicken sauce, and frozen peas and carrots. Sprinkle in the curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is heated through and well combined. Remove from heat.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  4. Using a round cutter or a small bowl, cut the pastry into circles large enough to fit in your ramekins or muffin tin.
  5. Place the cut pastry in the ramekins, allowing the excess to hang over the sides. Fill each crust with the butter chicken mixture.
  6. Cut additional pastry circles to cover the filling. Seal the edges by pinching them together gently, and make a few slits on top for steam to escape.
  7. Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
  8. Place the filled ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  9. Once baked, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Individual Butter Chicken Puff Pastry Pot Pies!

Notes

These pies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, feel free to freeze them before baking. Simply layer them between sheets of parchment paper and place them in a sealed freezer-safe bag. To reheat, place the frozen pies in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 minutes or until heated through.
