- 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans), defrosted

Ingredient Tips
Chicken:
Use rotisserie chicken, leftover baked chicken, or quickly cook and chop a chicken breast. Canned chicken works in a pinch, but fresh or leftover chicken gives better flavor.
Vegetables:
Use a frozen mixed vegetable blend and make sure it’s mostly thawed before mixing.
Biscuit Dough:
Refrigerated biscuit dough is easiest because it comes pre-portioned.
You can substitute crescent roll dough if preferred — it will be slightly softer and sweeter.
How to Make Mini Chicken Pot Pies
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix together:
- Cooked chicken
- Defrosted mixed vegetables
- Cream of chicken soup
Stir until well combined.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Cups
Grease a muffin tin.
Separate the biscuit dough and place one biscuit into each muffin cup.
Using your fingers, press the center down and stretch the dough up the sides to form a cup shape. Let the dough rest briefly if it resists stretching.
4. Fill the Cups
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each biscuit cup.
5. Bake
Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
6. Remove and Serve
Let them cool slightly.
Run a knife around the edges if needed to loosen them from the pan.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- If your muffin pan is older, use extra cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overfill the cups — the filling will bubble slightly as it bakes.
- These are best served fresh and warm.
Variations
- Add shredded cheddar cheese to the filling
- Sprinkle garlic powder or black pepper into the mixture
- Use turkey instead of chicken
- Swap cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crisp.
They can also be frozen and reheated later for an easy grab-and-go meal.
