Why You’ll Love This Mini Chicken Pot Pies Recipe

These mini chicken pot pies are not just adorable, they’re also packed with flavor. The creamy filling is rich with tender chicken and vegetables, while the crust bakes up golden and buttery. What makes this recipe even better is how easy it is to put together. You can use store-bought dough to save time, and the filling comes together quickly with pantry staples. They also freeze beautifully, so you can make a batch ahead and reheat whenever you need a warm and satisfying bite.

What Kind of Dough Should I Use?

You have a few options when it comes to the crust for your mini chicken pot pies. Store-bought crescent roll dough, biscuit dough, or puff pastry are all great choices. Crescent dough gives you a slightly sweet and tender crust, while biscuit dough adds a soft, bready texture. If you prefer a crispy, flaky top, puff pastry is the way to go. No matter which one you choose, make sure to roll it out slightly so it fits into your muffin tin and holds all that luscious filling.

Ingredients for the Mini Chicken Pot Pies

These ingredients are simple and accessible, making it easy to whip up a batch without needing a special grocery run. Each component plays an essential role in creating that classic, cozy chicken pot pie flavor, just in a more compact form.

Cooked chicken
Frozen mixed vegetables
Cream of chicken soup
Milk
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Cooked chicken is the heart of the filling, providing rich protein and savory flavor. You can use rotisserie chicken, grilled breasts, or even leftover roast.

Frozen mixed vegetables add texture, color, and nutrients. Carrots, peas, corn, and green beans are the usual mix, and they pair wonderfully with the creamy base.

Cream of chicken soup brings that signature comforting creaminess, tying all the ingredients together into a silky filling.

Milk helps loosen the soup just enough to create a scoopable consistency for filling the dough.

Seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder ensure the filling is flavorful and well-balanced.

Refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough serves as the buttery, golden crust. They’re easy to handle and bake beautifully in muffin tins.

For a cheesy twist, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking adds an extra layer of richness and appeal.

How To Make the Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the pies once baked.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, and seasonings. Stir until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

Roll out the refrigerated biscuit or crescent dough slightly and cut into rounds that will fit into the muffin tin cups. Press each dough circle into the tin, forming a small well.

Step 4: Fill and Top

Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each dough cup, filling almost to the top. If you’re using cheese, sprinkle a bit on top of each one.

Step 5: Bake

Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let the mini pot pies cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm and enjoy the buttery, creamy deliciousness in every bite.

How to Serve and Store Mini Chicken Pot Pies

These mini chicken pot pies are fantastic right out of the oven, but they’re just as good the next day. They make a charming addition to brunch tables, holiday spreads, or cozy weeknight dinners. You can serve them as a standalone meal or alongside soup and salad. Since they’re portable and sturdy, they also work well as lunchbox fillers or meal prep for the week.

This recipe yields about 10 to 12 mini pies, depending on your dough size and muffin tin. It comfortably feeds 4 to 6 people.

To store, let the pies cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap each pie in foil or plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave in 30-second intervals if you’re short on time.
