MINI CHICKEN POT PIES INGREDIENTS
You will need:
- 10.5-ounce can of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken with Herbs (1 full 6-ounce can + ⅓ of 6-ounce can)
- ¼ cup of chicken broth
- 3 packages Pillsbury Grands crescent roll dough (seamless dough sheet)
- 9 ounces frozen vegetables, thawed
- 1 cup of cooked chicken, cut into small pieces
PRO TIP:
Pick up a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store or use leftover cooked chicken from home in these delicious mini pot pies.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
CAMPBELL’S SOUP: If you can’t find the soup, you could also use a regular can of cream of chicken soup and add some garlic and herbs to it.
FROZEN VEGETABLES: Use whatever frozen mixed vegetables you enjoy such as peas, carrots, green beans, broccoli, or you could use fresh vegetables. Just cut them into small pieces so they fit into the pie.
PILLSBURY DOUGH: You can also use puff pastry sheets in place of the Pillsbury crescent rolls dough.
CHEESE: For a cheesy spin, mix in ½ to 1 cup of cheddar cheese with the chicken mixture.
HOW TO MAKE THIS MINI CHICKEN POT PIES RECIPE
PRO TIP:
If your family devours these pies up, you could make a double batch and put the extras in the freezer for another meal.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
STEP TWO: Lay the Pillsbury crescent dough flat and cut out 12 rounds with a 3-inch cookie cutter.
STEP THREE: Press the pie dough into the muffin cups pan along the bottom and up the sides.
STEP FOUR: In a medium bowl, mix the chicken, vegetables, chicken broth, and soup.
STEP FIVE: Spoon the chicken mixture into the pie crusts but don’t overfill them as it will bubble up during cooking.
STEP SIX: Grab a pizza cutter and cut strips of the dough to go over the top of the chicken filling. Two one way then two the other works really well.
STEP SEVEN: Bake in the oven for 18 minutes until golden brown. Use a knife to gently ease the side of the pie away from the pan to ensure it is cooked. It will come away easily once cooked.
PRO TIP:
Put your muffin pan on top of a baking sheet in case any of the filling bubbles out of the little pies.
STEP EIGHT: Leave the pies to cool a little then use a knife to gently lift them out of the cups once cooled.
HOW TO SERVE
This delicious mini chicken pot pie recipe is a great choice for an easy dinner. Add creamy mashed potatoes, garlic bread or caesar salad on the side for a complete meal.

Chari Burdick says
Can you freeze the pot pies either raw or after they are baked
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Chari – you can freeze uncooked mini chicken pot pies in the tins then once they are frozen, lift them out. Store them in an airtight container. Lift out and defrost before cooking. To cook, pop a little oil in each cup of the cupcake tin then put the pie in. Cook for around 25 minutes until golden.

These would be great for h’orderves with the bite-sized muffin pans for the Christmas holidays. I’m going to make them that way to try them out. If they turn out to be a plentiful batch, I will make for cookouts, too!

Looks yummy and easy to make. Pilsbury now makes a crescent sheet which I think would work well with this recipe.
Esther Waayenberg says
I made the mini pot pies today but didn’t follow this recipe. I made it up from scratch. It wasn’t until tonight that I found this page and laughed when I saw that what I had made wasn’t as much of my invention as I had thought. Anyway, it was very good and will make it again.
