🥧 Mini Chicken Pot Pies (Easy Recipe)
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/2 cup diced potatoes (optional, pre-cooked)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt, pepper, and thyme (to taste)
- 1 package puff pastry or biscuit dough
Instructions
1. Make the filling
Melt butter in a pan, stir in flour, and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until thick and creamy.
2. Add the good stuff
Mix in chicken, vegetables, and seasoning. Let it simmer for a few minutes until everything is coated and flavorful.
3. Assemble
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
- Grease a muffin tin
- Line each cup with dough or pastry
- Fill with the chicken mixture
- Cover with a small piece of dough on top (optional)
4. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience
- Add mushrooms or herbs for extra flavor
- Let them cool slightly—they’re molten inside right out of the oven
Variations
- Swap chicken for turkey (great for leftovers)
- Make it vegetarian with mushrooms and extra veggies
- Use mashed potatoes on top instead of pastry for a twist
If you want, I can give you a version using ingredients you already have at home or adjust it for air fryer or desi-style flavors.
