Today I was pondering what to make with the chicken I have as the dish I had in mind I just did not fancy any more.  Do you ever find that happens?  Anyway it suddenly came to me, chicken pot pie.  Little individual pies.  I cooked off soffritto in butter, added flour to make a roux then added stock to make a sauce and checked the seasoning.  I then added chicken and cooked until the sauce was glossy and the chicken cooked through.  I cut out pastry and lined a muffin tin, added the cooled filling, put on a lid, egg washed and cooked for half an hour.  They were so good I burnt the roof of my mouth and failed to know when to stop.
