Skinny Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Although I'm not much for casseroles and heavy meat dishes, I do love chicken pot pies!  My mom found a recipe for a lighter version of pot pie and shared it with me years ago.  As time passed, I kept the same base for the recipe (skim milk and flour), but made the rest of the recipe into a creation of my own.  I like to use a store-bought topping to save time, but feel free to make a homemade one!
I prefer making these pot pies in little ramekins so that the dish is portioned and everyone gets the same amount of topping (my favorite) and vegetable "goodies".  The ramekins are great too because they come with little lids - quick and easy way to store leftovers!
Please enjoy this lighter version of a heart-warming, classic dish!
Best dishes and yummy dreams!
