Mini Cajun Chicken Pot Pies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400˚. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the celery, bell pepper, onion and Cajun seasoning. Sauté until the vegetables start to turn translucent, about 8 more minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the chicken. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and chicken and stir. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring gently. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, and then stir in the bouillon cube until dissolved. (The flour will combine with the chicken broth to create a delicious gravy.) Stir in the heavy cream. Cook over low heat until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

Put six 8-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Unroll the pie dough on a floured surface. Using a ramekin as aguide, cut out 6 circles of pie dough that are slightly bigger than the ramekin.

Step 5

Divide the chicken mixture among the ramekins. Place the dough rounds on top.

Step 6

Cut small slits in the top and press the dough gently against the sides of the ramekins to seal. Bake for 30 minutes,or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
