Muffin Mini Chicken Pot Pies Recipe
Ingredients (Makes 12 individual pot pies):
For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie works perfectly!)
- 1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
- 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Crust:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough (16 biscuits total)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional: 1 egg beaten for golden shine
Instructions:
Prep Phase (5 minutes):
- Preheat oven to 400°F (25° higher than most recipes for extra crispiness)
- Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray
- Prepare filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen vegetables (no need to thaw!), cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and seasonings. Mix until well combined.
Assembly Phase (10 minutes):
- Create the crust: Take 12 biscuits and gently flatten each with your palm. Press each biscuit into a muffin cup, working the dough up the sides to create a cup shape. The dough should come about ¾ up the sides.
- Fill generously: Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each biscuit cup, filling them nearly to the top.
- Top it off: Take the remaining 4 biscuits, flatten them, and cut each into 3 pieces. Place one piece on top of each filled cup as a “lid.” Brush tops with melted butter for extra golden color.
Baking Phase (12-15 minutes):
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden brown and filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool briefly: Let rest for 5 minutes before removing from pan (this prevents the filling from spilling out).
Pro Tips for Perfect Mini Pot Pies Every Time
Ingredient Hacks:
- Chicken shortcuts: Rotisserie chicken, leftover grilled chicken, or even canned chicken in a pinch
- Vegetable upgrades: Try frozen pearl onions, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms for variety
- Soup alternatives: Cream of mushroom or cream of celery work beautifully too
Make-Ahead Magic:
- Prep Sunday: Assemble completely and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking
- Freezer meals: Freeze unbaked for up to 3 months (bake directly from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes)
- Leftover love: Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 45 seconds
Troubleshooting Common Issues:
Soggy bottom crust?
- Pre-bake the biscuit cups for 5 minutes before adding filling
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated
Filling too thin?
- Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken
- Drain excess liquid from vegetables if using fresh
Tops browning too fast?
- Cover with foil for the last 5 minutes of baking
