Chicken Potpie - Using frozen puff pastry. Easy chicken potpie recipe from Martha Stewart Living magazine.
When it comes to celebrating St. Valentine’s Day, if you make dinner to impress your loved ones, you score extra points in my opinion.
While you can go out and buy the most romantic present to impress, preparing a Valentine’s Day dinner just shows that you care or love so much more that you are willing to dedicate your time making something delicious for the special day.
This is especially true if you find a great recipe to share, for example: individual chicken potpie recipe in Martha Stewart Living magazine, February 2014 issue.
To crank up the romantic factor of the night, you can create a restaurant setting for your special someone.
Buy some flowers, have a centerpiece on the dining table, dim light, lots of candles, a bottle of great wine, gorgeous table setting, and two perfectly baked, golden-hued chicken potpies beckon while the aroma wafts and lingers in your kitchen.
I think that is extremely romantic! What’s more, you two don’t have to brave the crowd at restaurants—which are likely to be fully booked. No stress, no fuss, just a scrumptious meal at home, and engaging, lovey dovey conversations.
That would be my ideal way of celebrating St. Valentine’s Day!
This chicken potpie recipe doesn’t have to made in two individual portions, on regular days, when your loved ones is hooked on your chicken potpie, you can use a 2-quart baking dish to make one big potpie.
Just roll out the pastry so it’s 1 inch wider than the dish, cut vents, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
- 1 package frozen puff pastry, preferably all butter, thawed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/3 cup small carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup celery stalk, thinly sliced
- 1 small Yukon Gold potato, scrubbed and cut into a 1/2-inch (1.3cm) dice
- 1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup collard-green leaves, packed coarsely chopped
- 8 oz (225 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (217°C). Place a 1 1/2-cup ovenproof dish on a floured surface and roll out the pastry. Cut a circle from the pastry that is 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) larger than the dish, then cut vents in the circle. Repeat the process. Refrigerate the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the carrot, celery, and potato, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes. Stir in the flour, then add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the greens and chicken, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season to taste.
- Divide the mixture between dishes. Top with pastry, press the edges to seal, and brush with egg. Bake on a baking sheet until golden, about 25 minutes.

Do you have to use collard green? Can l just do it without it?
You can certainly omit the collard greens, or substitute with your favourite green veggie.
Is there anything we can click on to change to metric instead of cups please.
