Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Step 3: Assemble the Mini Pies

1. Spoon the chicken filling evenly into each dough-lined cup, leaving a little space at the top.
2. Cut additional dough circles or strips for the tops of the pies. You can cover them fully, make a lattice, or simply place a small round on top.
3. Press the edges to seal and trim any excess dough.
4. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
5. Cut a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.

Step 4: Bake the Mini Pies

1. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
3. Remove from the oven and allow the pies to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve as a comforting dinner with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
• Perfect for parties or potlucks — serve warm, straight from the oven.
• Pair with a light dipping sauce like garlic aioli or ranch for extra indulgence.

💡 Tips for the Perfect Mini Chicken Pot Pies

• Use pre-cooked chicken: Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.
• Don’t overfill: Leave room for the top crust to puff without overflowing.
• Cool the filling: Filling that’s too hot can make the dough soggy and hard to handle.
• Add herbs and spices: Fresh thyme, parsley, or rosemary elevate the flavor profile.
• Make ahead: Assemble the pies and refrigerate before baking — just add 5 extra minutes to the baking time.
