What Type of Pan do you Need for Mini Chicken Pot Pies?

In order to make these mini chicken pot pies, you will need a muffin tin. I used a standard 12 muffin tin. However, if you want your pot pies to be a little bigger, you can use the jumbo muffin pan which makes only 6.

How Many Pot Pies Does This Make?

This recipe makes about 12 mini chicken pot pies. Depending on the size of your muffin tin, you may be able to make a few more or a few less. The serving size for this recipe is two mini pot pies.

Can I Use Homemade Pie Crust?

If you want to make this recipe even better, you can absolutely make homemade pie crust. I tend to use refrigerated pie crusts to save on time, but you can always make your own.

Check out this Homemade Pie Crust Recipe to learn how to make your own.

Recipe Tips and Notes

  • Prep the muffin pan. Don’t forget to spray some non-stick spray in the muffin holes. They will stick if you don’t, and makes it difficult to get out each pie.
  • Cut your dough ahead of time. Before I even begin cooking, I like to cut the dough and have the bottoms in the tin. This saves on time and makes me feel less rushed while the filling is simmering.
  • Cut down on prep. You can use chicken breasts too. If you don’t have a precooked rotisserie chicken, you can use chicken breasts and shred them. Check out my Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsalted chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter (½ stick)
  • ½ sweet onion chopped
  • 1 stalk celery chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Season-all seasoned salt such as Morton
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 12 ounces frozen peas and carrots (1 bag)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 refrigerated pie crusts (2 packages)
  • 1 large egg beaten

Instructions

  • Add the chicken broth to a small saucepan and allow to heat on the stove.

    2 cups unsalted chicken broth

  • In the meantime, add the butter to a Dutch oven or skillet and heat to medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and cook for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook a further 2 minutes.

    4 tablespoons salted butter, ½ sweet onion, 1 stalk celery, 1 clove garlic

  • Add the Season-all, garlic powder, and thyme and stir into the mixture.

    1 tablespoon Season-all seasoned salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Add the flour and continue to whisk while the flour settles in until the lumps have disappeared and it’s a kind of creamy consistency.

    ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • Stir in the warmed chicken broth, the cream, shredded chicken and frozen peas and carrots.

    1 cup heavy whipping cream, 12 ounces frozen peas and carrots, 4 cups cooked shredded chicken

  • Stir well and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and do a taste test. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • While the filling mixture is simmering roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, or a ramekin, or something of similar size, cut out circles of the dough. Add each circle to a cupcake hole in a cupcake tray. Using your fingers press to fill the well evenly.

    4 refrigerated pie crusts

  • Spoon ¼ cup of the filling into each dough-filled round.

  • Using the same 3-inch shape, cut slices through to create lengths of dough to top each pie, in both directions.

  • Brush the beaten egg over the top of each pie, lightly.

    1 large egg

  • Bake in a 425°F oven for about 20-25 minutes.

  • Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes before eating.

Notes

Serving size is 2 mini pot pies. This recipe makes 20 mini chicken pot pies.
