I love rustic comfort food during winter. Though it’s depressing to see the night falls before 5pm, I welcome the idea of snuggling up comfortably under a throw in front of the TV, tuned to my favourite channel and enjoy a warm meal. A lot of times, I like to make soup, such as my all time favourite French onion soup or a super easy butter squash soup. There are also those days whenI want to indulge myself with a yummy stew like boeuf bourguignon or even coq au vin. These are simple humble foods that I will never say no.
I remember those days when I was young, my aunt came to visit us, she always brought some super delicious chicken pot pies. I fell in love with the crispy and buttery pastry, with rich and creamy filing that gave me satisfaction after eating it. During those days when I had limited knowledge in cooking, this kind of food could only be purchased at some shops that sell pastries and sweets in big cities. Thus, for a kid who was brought up in a small town, chicken pot pie was the kind of food that I treated like a treasure and ate with appreciation.
Anything related to pastry wasn’t something very common for me as I was brought up in a family where rice, noodles, seafood and spices are my best friends. But, I think I am very lucky to have my mom who is very passionate in cooking. She grew up learning how to cook through her mom. Eventually, she gained more skills by learning through books and friends. She even attended some professional cooking classes to advance her skills and to gain further knowledge in cooking!
I have grown up to have the same passion in cooking – making chicken pot pie for myself isn’t something impossible anymore! I am a very much self-taught cook. A lot of the dishes that I make are either passed down from my family or learnt from books or even something that I put together based on my travel inspirations or even dishes that I tasted at restaurants. The ingredients that I put together in this recipe are those that I think will make a satifying dish. I hope you will like it!
Mmmhhh, so comforting, warming and delicious! That is something I have to make soon. At the moment, my mind is on pies. ;-P
Cheers,

For someone like me who loves stew and pie, I haven’t made chicken pot pie. This is going to be my to make list this winter. I love your ramekins – I have a great reason to buy them… I would love to just “collect” them but it’s even better I’m making this dish! Thanks for the recipe!
Yeah, the mini cocottes are cute that I want to get more but have space issue 🙁
There’s just something about pies and stews that are so comforting in winter… 🙂 This looks lovely, last time I made chicken pot pie was last winter! Am sure I’ll be making some again soon…
Yeah, winter is all about pies and stews.. I heart them 😀
I would really like to have some of that especially since it’s cold now so i better go buy the ingredients soon!
It was cold and miserable last week! The weather seems to improve this week. 😀
Your chicken pot pie looks good I’m craving for one right now (even though I’ve just had breakfast)! Perfect for warming a cold stomach!
Thank you! Yeah, It’s definitely great to indulge in chicken pot pie. 😀
Your chicken pot pie with puff pastry looks so hearty and comforting =)
Thank you! 🙂
Can i use microwave instead of oven?
I am afraid not. Unless your microwave is an microwave oven.
Although it’s getting hotter and hotter here, I crave for this yummy dish when I saw your pictures. So tempting ! Thanks for your recipe. 🙂
I wish the weather is getting hotter here, can’t wait for the summer. LOL.
