Ingredients

For the Filling

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• ½ cup diced onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup whole milk
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Crust

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits) or refrigerated pie crust
• 1 egg

• Medium saucepan
• Rolling pin (optional)

How to Make Easy Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add diced onions and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

Sprinkle in the flour and cook for one minute while stirring constantly.

Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth.

Cook until thickened.

Stir in:

• Shredded chicken
• Mixed vegetables
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Thyme
• Salt
• Pepper

Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a standard muffin pan.

Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle or cut circles from pie crust.

Press each dough round into the muffin cups, making sure it comes up the sides.

Step 3: Fill the Cups

Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each prepared crust.

Fill almost to the top but avoid overfilling.

Step 4: Add the Top Crust

Cut smaller dough circles or strips for the tops.

Seal the edges gently.

Mix the egg with water and brush over each pie for a shiny golden finish.

Cut a tiny slit in each top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pan.

Serve warm.
