Method
1. Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a muffin tin or small ramekins.
2. Make the Filling:
- In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté onion until soft.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add chicken broth, whisking to prevent lumps.
- Pour in heavy cream, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
- Add shredded chicken, peas, carrots, and corn, stirring until combined. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Pies:
- Roll out the pie crust and cut into circles slightly larger than the muffin tin wells.
- Press each piece into the wells, filling them with the chicken mixture.
- Cut smaller rounds for the tops, place over the filling, and seal the edges with a fork.
- Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
4. Bake:
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
