Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Crust and Topping
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Line the Muffin Cups: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit and press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, forming a small dough cup.
- Fill the Cups: Evenly spoon the chicken mixture into each biscuit-lined muffin cup, filling them but ensuring the filling does not overflow.
- Bake the Pot Pies: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuit crusts are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Add Finishing Touches: Remove the pies from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the tops for added color and flavor.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mini pot pies to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then gently remove them. Serve warm for best enjoyment.
Notes
- Use cooked and shredded chicken to save time—rotisserie chicken works great.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables if preferred; just briefly steam before mixing.
- For a crispier crust, you can brush the biscuit dough with an egg wash before baking.
- These pot pies can be reheated in the oven or microwave; for best texture, reheat in the oven.
- You may add grated cheese into the filling for extra richness.
