Mini chicken pot pies are a delicious and convenient way to enjoy the comforting flavors of a classic chicken pot pie in individual portions. Here’s a simple recipe for mini chicken pot pies:

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C)

Cook and dice or shred the chicken. If using frozen mixed vegetables, thaw them according to the package instructions.

Make the Filling:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary until well combined to create a roux.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
  • Add the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables to the sauce, stirring until well combined. Remove the saucepan from the heat

Prepare the Pastry

Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut circles that will fit into your mini pie pans or muffin tins.

Assemble the Mini Chicken Pot Pies

  • Place the pastry circles into the bottom of each mini pie pan or muffin tin, forming the pie crust base.
  • Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into each crust, leaving some space at the top for the top crust.
  • Cover each mini pie with another pastry circle, sealing the edges by pressing them together with a fork.

Bake:

Place the mini chicken pot pies in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Serve:

Allow the mini chicken pot pies to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious individual servings of comfort food!
