Ingredients
- 1 package ramen noodles
- Two 8-inch pie crusts
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 3/4 cup sliced halved carrots
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen English peas
- 1/2 cup sliced leeks (thoroughly rinsed)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
- 1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch-diced cooked chicken breasts (two 8-ounce breasts)
- 2 tablespoons sliced chives
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces.
- Roll out the pie crusts to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Using an 8-ounce ramekin as a guide, cut out 4 circles with an extra 1-inch border of crust all around.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Blanch the carrots, peas and leeks separately in the broth until tender and set aside. Reserve the broth.
- Melt the butter over a medium flame in a saucepan. Add the flour and cook until it begins to smell toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk and cream, and whisk until incorporated and smooth. Add the reserved chicken stock and bring to a simmer; season with salt and pepper. Cook the mixture until thickened, and then add the chicken, peas, carrots, leeks, noodles and chives.
- Divide this mixture among four 8-ounce ramekins, top with the crusts, fold the borders over the sides and cut vents in the tops. Brush with the beaten egg and season with salt.
- Bake until the pastry is golden and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

CAN this be made the day before ref then put the crust on the next day
I have made these for years and my family loves them. I make them with any leftover meat we have from previous meals and they are always great.
Delicious, easy, beautiful presentation….what more can you ask for?
can I use puff pastry for the crust?
Really delicious! I added roasted corn and I did also add the seasoning packet from the ramen (someone had asked). The only suggestion I would make is to bake it in a shallower, wider ramekin to have more of the crust. Will definitely make again!!!
Anyone know if I could freeze this? and how? Expecting a couple families for Christmas break and I love this recipe but would need to prepare and freeze ahead of time.
This was so easy to make and fantastic!!!
Yum! Instead of pie crusts, I used a ‘flat’ of crescent dough and put it over a larger casserole dish instead of miniature ramekins and baked for about 20 minutes–turned out amazing! I also added some mushrooms and DID add the ramen seasoning packet to the noodles! I did have to add a little extra chicken stock to the sauce as it was extremely thick.
My husband and I watched GZ prepare this while hubby was recuperating in the hospital. Normally he is a picky eater but after 10 days of hospital food he wanted me to give this a try. Both he and my son devoured this meal and I have since made CPP on a regular basis. I now add mushrooms for hubby and hot sauce for son. I’ve added corn at times too but I roast the corn first. GZ’s recipe is spot on and no need to change it up but it’s always fun to add your touches to bring out your inner chef!
