Mini Chicken Pot Pies

These mini chicken pot pies are a quick and convenient way to enjoy the comforting flavors of a classic pot pie in individual servings. With only six simple ingredients and a few easy steps, you can have these delicious pot pies on the table in no time. The creamy chicken and vegetable filling is encased in a flaky crescent roll crust, making them a perfect handheld meal for busy weeknights or cozy gatherings. Serve them alongside a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying dinner that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

• Cream of Chicken Soup: Provides a creamy base and savory flavor for the filling.
• Chicken Stock: Adds richness and depth of flavor to the filling.
• Crescent Rolls: Form the flaky and buttery crust for the mini pot pies.
• Frozen Mixed Vegetables: Bring color, texture, and nutritional value to the filling.
• Chicken: Shredded chicken adds protein and heartiness to the filling, making the pot pies more satisfying.

How To Make It:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray muffin tins with non-stick spray.
2. Prepare Dough: Lay out the crescent roll dough, pinch seams together, and cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter. Press the dough rounds into the muffin tins, including up the sides.
3. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, thawed vegetables, and shredded chicken.
4. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the filling into each muffin cup, being careful not to overfill.
5. Top with Dough: Slice strips of dough and lay them across the tops of the muffin cups.
6. Bake: Bake for about 18 minutes or until the top and sides are light golden brown. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking.
7. Cool and Serve: Let the mini chicken pot pies cool slightly before using a knife to loosen them from the muffin tins.

Tips:

• Ensure the crescent roll dough is sealed well and pressed firmly into the muffin tins to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
• Customize the filling by adding your favorite herbs or spices for extra flavor.
• Make a double batch and freeze the extra mini pot pies for a quick and convenient meal option later on.
• Serve with a side of gravy or additional soup for dipping, if desired.
• These mini pot pies are great for meal prep and can be reheated easily for a quick lunch or dinner option throughout the week.
