Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 cup onion, diced
-
1/2 cup celery, diced
-
1/2 cup carrots, diced
-
1/2 cup frozen peas
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 cup chicken broth
-
1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme or poultry seasoning
-
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough or 2 refrigerated pie crusts
-
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
-
1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
Cook the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Make the filling: Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk. Stir constantly until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
Add seasonings and chicken: Mix in garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme, shredded chicken, and peas. Stir and remove from heat.
Assemble the pies: Roll out biscuit or pie dough and cut into rounds large enough to line each muffin cup. Press dough into each cup, letting a little hang over the edges.
Fill and top: Spoon chicken filling into each cup. If using pie crust, cut smaller rounds and place on top, pinching edges to seal. Cut a small slit in the top to vent. If using biscuit dough, no top is needed unless desired.
Optional egg wash: Whisk egg with water and brush tops of pies.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
Cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin and serving.
Notes
You can use leftover turkey instead of chicken.
To save time, use frozen mixed vegetables.
These freeze well once baked — reheat in the oven or air fryer.
