🧾 Ingredients (Makes 12 Mini Pies)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced 🍗
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) 🥕🌽
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup 🥣
¼ cup milk 🥛
½ tsp garlic powder 🧄
½ tsp onion powder 🧅
½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning 🌿
Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed 🧈
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) 🥚
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or grated cheese 🧀🌿

👩‍🍳 How to Make Easy Mini Chicken Pot Pies

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or spray with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined and creamy.

3. Cut the Puff Pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry. Cut into 12 even squares. Gently press each square into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup, allowing the corners to hang slightly over the edges.

4. Fill and Seal

Spoon the chicken mixture into each pastry cup, filling just to the top. If desired, fold corners of pastry over the top or crimp slightly. Brush exposed pastry edges with egg wash.

5. Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

6. Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with parsley or grated cheese if desired. Serve warm with a side salad, soup, or on their own.

🧡 Pro Tips & Tricks

Use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep.
For extra richness, stir in a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese.
Add diced potatoes or mushrooms to the mix for variety.
Let puff pastry sit at room temp for 10–15 minutes before using—it’s easier to work with.

🥶 Storage Tips

Cool completely before storing. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer for crispy results.
