After my Apple Pie Cone turned out way better than I expected there’s no way that I wasn’t going to follow it up with something similar, and when I got to thinking about other types of pies that I’d like to see in a more portable form the first one that came to mind was chicken pot pie.
So, I once again headed to the grocery store and picked up a pre-made pie crust, wrapped it around a cone-form and then baked it upside down in my 400° oven for ten minutes.
Instead of spooning apple pie filling inside of my cone this time though I packed it full of diced chicken pieces, sliced carrots, peas and chicken broth before covering it with a lattice top and placing it right-side up inside of a glass and back in the oven for another ten minutes to finish cooking.
Overall the Chicken Pot Pie Cone turned out just as amazing as its apple pie counterpart. If I had to choose a favorite though I’d probably give a slight nod to this one, simply because with all the chilly weather we’ve been having here in Wisconsin lately there isn’t much that tastes better than a nice warm chicken pot pie.

I used to make Taco Cones by taking a corn tortilla, finding the exact center, and cutting (in a straight line) from that point out to the edge, then overlapping the cut ends, and securing with a toothpick. These “cones” then get placed upside-down in a muffin pan, then baked at 350 for about 10 mins. until they firm up in the cone shape. When cooled, remove toothpick, and fill with your favorite taco fillings.
Here’s a flour tortilla version: http://www.ohbiteit.com/2014/05/taco-cones.html

They even sell portable ‘chicken pot pies’ or just pies at McD’s in NZ.. plus a million other varieties at more adventurous retailers nationwide
