This is a delicious recipe. Just a few corrections I would make: 1. If shallot is chopped too finely it may burn in the pan while cooking with the veggie combo. 2. Recipe instructs you to divide mixture into four 6-oz ramekins, but this recipe yields significantly more mixture, enough to fill five 10-ounce ramekins. 3. When you're simmering the mixture, I do 12 minutes instead of 5, otherwise too soupy. 4. Ideally make your own. Stock isn't actually supposed to contain any salt, Chicken or Veg.

Made this last night for dinner - was soooo good! I don't think I've ever had pot pie of any types growing up (yes, I was lucky!). But this version with the flaky, crusty puff pastry was wonderful! I did add some minced garlic with the shallot, and I added peas with the carrots, parsnip, potato. Otherwise, followed the recipe - used french onion soup bowls, since 6oz ramekins would not be large enough. Making this part of our comfort food routine each fall/winter.

I made this for me and my husband earlier today. We were both so impressed with the flavor that I know this will become a recurring recipe used in my kitchen. We both enjoyed the pot pies tremendously

I'm not a fan of chicken pot pies as they're usually loaded with sodium which I can't eat much of. But I tried this recipe with a few revisions: instead of chicken stock I used low sodium chicken broth, I eliminated the parsnips as they are only canned right now, and I used crescent rolls instead of puff pastries. I also used 1/2 an onion instead of shallots for my local store was out of them. The pot pies still came out GREAT!!! I will definitely make this again!

I usually don't like pot pie, but this one is a winner. Few suggestions: No way this was going to fit into 4-6 oz. ramekins, we used 2-9" pie dishes. Pastry puff at our local grocer only comes in 17 oz. package, 2 sheets, not 14 oz. So, we used one sheet per 9" pie dish and both pies turned out great! Also, plenty for more than the suggested 4 servings. We really liked this and will make it again.
