Description
Mini Chicken Pot Pies are a cozy and comforting dish, perfect for a quick meal or a family gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (enough for 6 mini pies)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
- Gradually add chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce (about 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until heated through.
- Roll out the pie crusts and use a cup or bowl to cut out circles large enough to fit into a muffin tin (about 3-4 inches in diameter). Press the dough into the muffin tin.
- Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie crusts, filling them evenly.
- Cut smaller circles of pie crust to top each mini pie, and press the edges together to seal.
- Brush the tops with an egg wash (whisked egg with a little water) for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the mini pot pies cool for a few minutes before serving.
