Take note
Be cautious when working with hot ingredients and sharp tools.

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

2

Cook the Chicken

In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound (450g) of diced chicken until it's no longer pink. Set it aside and let it cool.

3

Prepare the Filling

In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons (30g) of butter and sauté 1 diced onion, 1 diced carrot, and 1 diced celery stalk until they soften. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (15g) of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir for a couple of minutes.

4

Add the Liquid

Pour in 1 cup (240ml) of chicken broth and 1 cup (240ml) of milk. Stir well to combine. Season with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

5

Thicken the Filling

Simmer the mixture over medium heat until it thickens, stirring constantly. This should take about 5 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat.

6

Assembly Time

Roll out a store-bought pie crust on a floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles that fit the muffin tin. Gently press them into each muffin cup, forming a crust.

7

Fill 'Em Up

Divide the cooked chicken and the thickened filling equally among the crusts in the muffin tin.

8

Add the Top Crust

Roll out another pie crust and cut out smaller circles to be used as the top crusts for your mini pies. Place them on top of the chicken and filling mixture in each cup. Press the edges to seal, and make a few slits on the top to allow steam to escape.

9

Bake and Enjoy

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Grab a mini pot pie and savor the deliciousness!
