How to Make Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Ingredients

• 2 cans flakey layers biscuits
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• 2 cans cooked chicken (or 2 cups fresh, cooked chicken, shredded)
• 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, shredded chicken, and thawed mixed vegetables. Season the mixture to taste with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs.
3. Assemble the Pot Pies: Open the cans of biscuits and flatten each biscuit. Press each flattened biscuit into the cups of a muffin pan, shaping them to create a small crust that lines the muffin cup.
4. Fill the Biscuits: Spoon the chicken, veggie, and soup mixture into each biscuit-lined muffin cup, filling each about three-quarters full.
5. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
6. Serve: Let the mini pot pies cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin pan. Serve warm and enjoy!

How to Store Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Leftover mini chicken pot pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven or microwave until warmed through. You can also freeze them before baking. Just assemble and freeze them in the muffin pan, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
