A Taste of Home – Nostalgic Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Some meals take you right back to childhood, and for my husband—Mr. Squeeze—this Classic Chicken Pot Pie Recipe is that dish. The moment he breaks through that golden, flaky crust, the creamy, herby filling transports him to simpler days when comfort comes straight from the kitchen.

Baking these in small cocottes makes them feel extra special—like a cozy little treat made just for you, warm, golden, and irresistibly inviting. The buttery crust shatters with the first spoonful, revealing tender chicken, vibrant veggies, and a rich, savory sauce bubbling beneath. Each bite is cozy, nostalgic, and oh-so-satisfying.

We love to make these on chilly evenings, a family dinner, or when we’re just craving something that feels like home, this Chicken Pot Pie is a timeless classic that never fails to bring warmth and joy.
