Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), diced
- 2 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen carrots
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the chicken and potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside the vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn).
-
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Cook the Potatoes and Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, add the frozen peas, carrots, and corn, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
-
Make the Filling: Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir to coat evenly. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 4-5 minutes). Season with garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
-
Assemble the Pot Pies: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie dough and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Press the dough into a muffin tin to form the bottom crust. Spoon the filling into each muffin cup.
-
Add the Top Crust: Place another circle of pie dough over each filled muffin cup. Press the edges to seal and cut a small slit in the top for venting. Brush the tops with a beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
- You can make these mini chicken pot pies ahead of time by assembling them and freezing them before baking. Bake from frozen, adding about 10-15 minutes to the cook time.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables in the filling. Mushrooms, spinach, or green beans would be great additions.
- If you don’t have pie crust, you can use puff pastry for a lighter, flakier texture.
