Mini Chicken Pot Pies are individually sized, flaky pastries filled with creamy chicken and vegetable filling. They’re cozy, flavorful, and perfect for family dinners, parties, or meal prep. With a buttery golden crust and rich, savory filling, these mini pies deliver all the comfort of a classic chicken pot pie in a convenient handheld form.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts or puff pastry sheets
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or poultry seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Roll out the pie crusts or puff pastry and cut into circles large enough to fit into each muffin cup with slight overhang.
  3. Press dough circles into muffin cups to form the base and sides.
  4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened.
  5. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
  6. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until thickened.
  7. Add chicken, mixed vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and remove from heat.
  8. Spoon the filling evenly into the crust-lined muffin cups.
  9. Cut smaller dough circles for the tops and press edges to seal each pie.
  10. Brush tops with egg wash.
  11. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden and flaky.
  12. Cool slightly before removing from the pan and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Puff pastry creates a flakier texture, while pie crust gives a buttery, classic flavor.
  • Add shredded cheese to the filling for extra richness.
  • Freeze baked or unbaked pies for easy future meals.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
