Yummy pizza pot pies for an easy win with the kids.
Look no further than Pizza Pot Pies for lunch or dinner to put a smile on the kids faces. If old enough, have them help out in the kitchen. My kids love to do the prep work with me first. Measuring out each of the ingredients – to make sure we have everything we need. Then dumping it all in the mixing bowl or the pan to prepare.

Ingredients
Tomato Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced rosemary leaves
- 2 ounces diced pancetta
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pizza Pot Pies:
- 3 cups Tomato Sauce
- 2 cups diced roasted chicken
- 2 cups broccoli cut into small, bite-sized pieces
- 1 1/2 cups diced mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds pizza dough
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Directions
- Special equipment: 6 (10-ounce) ramekins
- For the Tomato Sauce: Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, rosemary, and pancetta. Saute until the pancetta is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stir to combine, and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl combine the Tomato Sauce, chicken, broccoli, mozzarella, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the ramekins. Roll out the pizza dough and cut circles with a pairing knife that are 1-inch wider in diameter than the ramekins. Place the circles of dough over the filled ramekins and press down to seal, making sure to pull the dough over the edge of the ramekin. Brush the top of the pizza dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cut a small slit in the top of the pizza dough with a pairing knife. Bake until the pizza crust is golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
