These mini chicken pot pies feature a golden-brown puff pastry crust and creamy chicken filling, making them a comforting and crowd-pleasing dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your muffin tin generously.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Add thyme, salt, and pepper, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded chicken and veggies.
  3. Lightly flour your surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet so it’s slightly thinner. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out circles large enough to fit into the muffin tin cups and slightly overhang.
  4. Press the puff pastry circles into the muffin tin cups, creating a little well. Spoon the chicken filling into each cup, filling it close to the top.
  5. Cut smaller circles to cover the tops of the pies. Gently press the edges to seal, and use a fork to crimp for extra flair. Cut a small slit in the center of each lid to allow steam to escape.
  6. Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the pies for that golden finish.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  8. Allow the pies to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm!

Notes

Thaw puff pastry properly in the fridge overnight or for about 40 minutes at room temperature. Don’t overfill the pies to avoid spillage. Seal the edges well to lock in the filling and create a neat appearance.
