Easy Chicken Pot Pies Minis

What’s great about these pot pie minis is the pasta in them, or actually the pasta i use in them, ramen noodles.  Talk about a uniqueness that gives it some personality.  Also, I use Leeks instead of celery for another layer of uniqueness and flavor that is so mellow adding to the richness of the dish.  I do like ramen noodles, soup version. Keeping this with my motto of Simple, Easy, and Delicious, I use a fully cooked rotisserie chicken that I pick up from my local grocery store. So let’s start the recipe!
