Remember when you were a kid, and you imagined what you’d be like when you became a parent? I was convinced I was going to sew all of my kids clothes (ha!) and that I was going to make gourmet meals every single night. (Oh dreams…)

How to make Mini Chicken Pot Pies:

The full printable recipe is at the end of this post, but here’s what you’ll need:

  • Chicken
  • Mixed Frozen Vegetables
  • Cream of Chicken Soup
  • Refrigerated Biscuit Dough

Only 4 ingredients! I love how easy it is!! If you prefer the taste of crescent roll dough, you could definitely use it instead of the biscuit dough. The biscuit dough comes in individual circles though, so it does make ita lot easier than fussing with cutting circles from the crescent roll dough.

This is a GREAT recipe for using leftover chicken! You can use a rotisserie chicken, leftover home cooked chicken, or if it’s easier, just fry up a fresh chicken breast and chop it up. If you’re really in a hurry, you can also use a can of chicken (I like the canned chicken from Costco), but it does taste better when you use freshor leftover chicken instead of canned.

Buy a package of the frozen vegetables with carrots, peas, green beans and corn. And make sure it is mostly defrosted before you cook it. I defrosted mine at 20% power in the microwave for about 5 minutes.

Separate the biscuits and place them into a greased muffin tin.

Use your fingers to press down the middle of the dough to thin it out, and then stretch the doughup the sides of the muffin tin as high as it will go. I ended up stretching out the dough twice, letting it rest a couple minutes in between.

Then add the chicken filling inside each of the cups. I added about 2 tablespoons into each of themini chicken pot pies.

Bake them at 375F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

Use a knife to cut around the edges if they stick. Mine came out really easily, but it will depend on how much of the nonstick coating is left on your muffin pan. If you’ve scrubbed off most of the nonstick coating, make sure you use some extra cooking spray to keep things loose.

Mmmm… that delicious filling…

Definitely keep an eye on them while they are cooking and when they start to brown, take them out of the oven. I kept mine in the oven for probably 2 minutes too long and the sides ended up being a little darker than I wanted them. Still delicious though!

  • 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables peas, carrots, corn and green beans, defrosted
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
