Ingredients
Yield: 16 mini pot pies
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 1/3 cup baby carrots, sliced
- 1/4 cup peas, frozen
- 2 Tbsp celery, finely diced
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 dash black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 refrigerated pie crusts (2 boxes), room temperature
- 1 tbsp egg wash, 1 egg whisked with 1 Tbsp water or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray mini cupcake pans with cooking spray.
- Combine chicken, carrots, peas and celery in saucepan. Add just enough water to cover ingredients and bring to a boil. Cook 15 minutes then remove from heat; strain and set aside.
- Cook onions in butter on medium heat until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt and black pepper. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until very thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, mix in chicken and vegetables; set aside.
- Unroll pie dough and cut 32 circles with a 3½" cookie cutter. Fit 16 pie dough circles into bottom of mini muffin pan, making sure there's enough dough left on top to pinch together with the top.
- Spoon chicken mixture into pie crust heaping slightly. Brush edges of bottom pie crusts with egg wash to adhere top crust. Place remaining pie tops on each cup; pinch top and bottom layers together. Flute edges or press with fork to seal.
- Cut small slits into tops so steam can escape during baking and brush egg wash over pies for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake 10–15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling starts to bubble. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving
