Description
Muffin Tin Chicken Pot Pies are a quick and delicious recipe that combines shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, and creamy filling baked in a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (1 lb) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles that are slightly larger than the muffin tin cups (about 4-5 inches in diameter). You should get about 12 circles from the two crusts.
- Press each pie crust circle into the muffin tin cups, ensuring they cover the bottom and sides.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each pie crust, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Using any leftover pie crust, cut out small shapes (like stars or hearts) to place on top of each filled pie for decoration.
- Brush the edges of the pie crusts with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the muffin tin chicken pot pies cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a creamy twist, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) to the filling before baking.
- For a healthier option, substitute the cream of chicken soup with a homemade white sauce made from butter, flour, and milk.
