Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring the vegetables around, until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook the flour-coated veggies for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine, if using!) and stir to combine. Let it heat up and start to bubble and thicken, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken, then add the turmeric and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Add the half-and-half, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pie crusts slightly and cut out 8 dough circles just a bit larger than the pie pans (if using a muffin tin, you'll need sixteen 3 3/4-inch circles). Press a dough circle into each pie pan (or 8 muffin cups), making sure the dough comes almost to the top of each pan. Fill the pies with the chicken mixture. Lay a second round of dough over the top of each pie. Press the dough so that the edges meet, then use a fork to seal the edges. Mix the egg with 2 teaspoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (Discard any extra egg wash.) Cut small vents in the surface of the crusts.
• If you're baking the pies right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, place the pies on a baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Serve them straight out of the pie pans or turn them out of the pan and serve them upside down!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large saucepan heat chicken broth and bouillon cube over medium heat until hot.
• In a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, chives and garlic, and saute until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Add the flour and stir together until it becomes pasty and lump-free, about 2 minutes. Stir in the hot broth, heavy cream, sherry, chicken and frozen onions and peas. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
• With a ladle, fill 6ovenproof ramekins or bowls with the filling. Place on baking sheet.
• Sprinkle flour on countertop. Roll out dough an extra inch. Using a biscuit round or mold, cut out dough to cover the tops of your oven-proof bowls, with about 1/2-inch hangover, depending on their size. Crimp the dough over the edge of the ramekin. Brush with the egg wash and make 4 small slits on the top. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a 1 1/2-cup ovenproof dish on pastry on a floured surface. Cut circle from pastry, 1/2 inch larger than dish; cut vents. Repeat. Refrigerate on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, until soft, 4 minutes. Add carrot, celery, and potato. Cook, stirring, until soft, 6 minutes. Stir in flour, then broth; bring to a boil. Add greens and chicken. Simmer until thickened, 2 minutes; season.
• Divide between dishes. Top with pastry, press edges to seal, and brush with egg. Bake on a baking sheet until golden, 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 8 (8-oz) individual baking dishes (ramekins) with cooking spray.
• In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil. Cook potatoes, carrot, celery, onion and garlic over medium heat about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Stir in soup, half-and-half, sherry, water, 1 teaspoon of the parsley, the poultry seasoning, chicken and peas; heat to boiling. Remove from heat.
• Cut 8 (4-inch) squares from puff pastry.
• Place ramekins on cookie sheet. Divide chicken mixture evenly among ramekins. Top each ramekin with puff pastry square. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon parsley.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the meat is golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C)
• To the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent. Add the potato cubes and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the peas and carrots and stir. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Sprinkle the flour on top, covering the vegetables, and quickly stir to avoid lumps. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Place the pie crust over the chicken and vegetable mixture and carefully seal along the edges of the skillet with your fingers. Brush the pastry with the egg, and cut 3 slits in the top to release steam. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the broth, tomato paste, ground black pepper, oregano, salt and garlic. Mix well and set aside.
• Dredge the chicken in the bread crumbs, coating well. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the chicken in the oil for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
• Add the reserved broth mixture and the mushrooms to the skillet and bring to a boil. Then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside, covering to keep it warm.
• Bring broth mixture to a boil and cook for 4 minutes, or until reduced to desired thickness. Spoon sauce over the chicken and serve.

Steps:

• Spray the crock pot with non stick spray.
• Place the cubed potatoes, carrots and peas in the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle with Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder. Spoon half a can of the Cream of Chicken and half a can of the Cream of Celery over the vegetables.
• Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder over the chicken breasts and under their skin. Place on top of vegetables in the crock pot. Cover the chicken with remaining soup, broth and Onion Soup Powder Mix.
• Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours.
• Remove chicken when cooked through and allow to cool. Use forks to shred meat from the bones. Add back into crock pot, and taste to see if needs more salt, etc.
• Spoon into single serving sized small glass bowls. I use Pyrex bowls with lids. Roll out crescent dough and cut into circles that cover the bowls.
• Bake at 375 until the crescent dough is nicely browned.
• Allow to cool and enjoy. Or snap the lids on the bowls, stick them in the fridge and take to work or school for great lunch!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Spray 10 muffin cups with vegetable spray.
• Cook the veggies part way, drain well.
• Stir together chicken, soup, and vegetables.
• Roll or pat out biscuits on a floured board.
• Press biscuits into bottoms and up sides of muffin cups.
• Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture into each biscuit cup.
• Top each with 2 tsp cheese.
• Bake for 15-20 (or more) minutes, until biscuits are golden and cheese is melted.
• Let cool in pan on wire rack 5 minutes.
