Irresistible Mini Chicken Pot Pies are a delightful comfort food. They feature tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy sauce encased in a flaky pastry. These perfectly portioned pies are easy to make, kid-friendly, and great for freezing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1 cup diced potatoes (optional, pre-cooked)
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package (2 sheets) refrigerated pie crust
  • Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in flour, garlic powder, and thyme. Cook for another minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in cooked chicken, peas, carrots, potatoes (if using), salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
  6. Roll out pie crust sheets. Cut circles slightly larger than muffin tin cups.
  7. Place crust circles into muffin tin cups, forming a bowl.
  8. Spoon chicken filling generously into each crust.
  9. Cut additional crust circles for tops. Place over filling, sealing edges. Cut slits in tops for steam.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Experiment with spices like paprika or cayenne for added flavor.
  • Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
  • Stir in cream cheese or sour cream for an extra creamy filling.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with mushrooms and lentils or chickpeas.
  • Add shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella for a cheese lover’s twist.
  • Include diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper for a spicy version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Freeze wrapped pies tightly for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen by baking an additional 5-10 minutes.
