Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cans flaky layers biscuits
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• 2 cans cooked chicken (or 2 cups fresh shredded chicken)
• 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredient Secrets and Smart Swaps

Ingredient	Pro Tip
Biscuits	Flaky layers bake best for crisp edges and soft centers.
Cream of Chicken Soup	Use low-sodium if preferred, or swap for cream of mushroom for a deeper flavor.
Chicken	Fresh shredded chicken has richer flavor, but canned chicken saves time.
Frozen Vegetables	Thaw completely before mixing to avoid excess liquid.
Garlic & Onion Powder	Add depth without needing to sauté fresh onions.
Dried Thyme	A small amount gives earthy aroma and balance to the creamy filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin pan. This ensures your mini pies come out easily once baked.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, shredded chicken, and thawed vegetables. Add garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
3. Shape the Crusts: Open your biscuit cans and flatten each one into a round, about ¼ inch thick. Press each flattened biscuit into a muffin cup, bringing the edges slightly up and over the rim to form a crust.
4. Fill the Cups: Spoon the creamy chicken mixture into each biscuit crust, filling about three-quarters of the way. Leave a bit of room for bubbling.
5. Bake Until Golden: Place your muffin pan in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes. The biscuits should be golden and the filling hot and bubbly.
6. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Let the mini pies cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm for the perfect melt-in-your-mouth bite.

Pro Tips from My Kitchen

• Avoid Overfilling: The filling expands slightly as it bakes, so keep it below the rim.
• Let Them Cool: Warm pies are best after a short rest; this allows the filling to set and stay creamy.
• Customize the Veggies: Add corn, peas, or even diced potatoes for variety.
• Brush with Butter: For extra golden color and a bakery-style finish, brush melted butter over the biscuits before baking.

Flavor Twists You’ll Love

• Cheesy Chicken Pot Pies: Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella to the filling for a gooey, cheesy surprise.
• Spicy Southwest Version: Mix in diced green chilies and a pinch of cumin for a Tex-Mex twist.
• Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms and spinach, using cream of mushroom soup.
• Mini Turkey Pot Pies: Perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers, just substitute turkey for chicken.

Perfect Serving Ideas

Serve these golden mini pies warm from the oven with a crisp garden salad or roasted veggies. They’re great for brunch, dinner, or game nights. For entertaining, arrange them on a platter with fresh herbs or a drizzle of cream sauce for a touch of elegance.

Make-Ahead and Freezing Tips

Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can also assemble the unbaked mini pies, freeze them on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. When ready to bake, pop them into the oven straight from frozen at 375°F for 25 minutes.

How to Store and Reheat

Leftover pies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until warm. Avoid microwaving too long so the biscuits stay flaky.

Helpful Kitchen Tricks

• Nonstick Pan Tip: Even if your pan is nonstick, grease it lightly for smooth release.
• Even Baking: Rotate your muffin tray halfway through baking to ensure all pies cook evenly.
• Portion Control: Use a standard muffin pan for dinner portions or mini muffin tins for bite-sized party snacks.
• Extra Crispiness: Place baked pies on a wire rack for a few minutes to prevent soggy bottoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

2. Can I make these in advance for a party? Absolutely. Bake ahead, cool, and reheat right before serving. They’re great for entertaining.
