Warm, hearty, and packed with nostalgia, these mini chicken pot pies feature a buttery, flaky crust and creamy chicken and vegetable filling. Perfect for cozy dinners or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Store-bought pie crusts (or homemade, rolled out and ready to use)
  • Cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
  • Unsalted butter
  • All-purpose flour
  • Chicken broth
  • Milk or heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper
  • Thyme or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll out your pie crusts and use a cookie cutter or knife to cut circles slightly larger than the muffin tin cups. Press one circle into each cup, leaving a slight overhang.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Spoon the filling into each prepared crust, filling to the top.
  7. Cut smaller circles from the remaining pie crust and place one on top of each pie. Pinch the edges to seal and cut a small slit in the center for steam.
  8. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Let the pies cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overfill the pies to prevent spilling during baking.’, ‘Seal the edges tightly to avoid gaps.’, ‘Keep the crust cold for a flakier texture.’, ‘Taste the filling and adjust seasoning before assembling the pies.’, ‘Brush the tops with egg wash for a glossy, golden finish.’]
