Ingredients
  

Filling ingredients

  • ½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • ¾ cup frozen sweet corn
  • ¼ cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

Sauce ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup whole milk

Crust ingredients

  • 2 10-inch unfold-and-bake frozen pie crusts (refrigerated)
  • 1 large egg (whisked) for egg wash

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken, vegetables, water, and bouillon over medium heat. Stir to combine and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and strain the chicken and vegetables, reserving the broth.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture begins to brown.
  • Add milk and reserved chicken broth to the mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the reserved chicken and vegetables. Set aside.

Assembly

  • On a lightly floured cutting board, unroll one pie crust (leave the other refrigerated until ready to use). Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out four pieces of dough. Cut out another four pieces using a 3-inch round cookie cutter. Repeat with the second pie crust.
  • Press the large rounds of dough into the bottom of the prepared muffin tin, ensuring a bit of the dough comes up over the rim of the muffin tin so the top crust can seal to the bottom crust.
  • Spoon the filling into the pastry and cover with the small rounds. Use a fork to crimp the edges together.
  • Whisk together the egg and a teaspoon of water. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the egg wash over the crusts.
  • Use a knife to cut slits in the top of the pastry so the steam can escape.

Baking

  • Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve.

Notes

For a richer flavor, sauté onions or garlic with the chicken. Feel free to mix and match vegetables; great additions include broccoli, celery, or bell peppers. For a bit of spice, add cayenne pepper or paprika. Mini Chicken Pot Pies store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
