Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced chicken breasts (substitution: Use leftover turkey for a quicker option.)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen) (options: Fresh vegetables like carrots, peas, or corn can elevate the dish.)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (note: Swap with olive oil for a lighter version.)
  • 1 tablespoon flour (note: For gluten sensitivities, gluten-free flour works well.)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (note: Opt for low-sodium broth to keep salt levels in check.)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (substitution: Use milk or dairy-free cream for a lighter option.)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (note: Fresh herbs can add an aromatic taste to your irresistible mini chicken pot pies.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (tip: Ensure it’s chilled for best results while baking.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet, sauté diced chicken in melted butter over medium heat until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in your frozen mixed vegetables, heating through for a couple of minutes.
  4. Thicken Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the mixture, then gradually add chicken broth while stirring for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Incorporate Cream: Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  6. Prepare Pastry: Roll out puff pastry and cut circles to line muffin tins.
  7. Assemble Pies: Fill each pastry cup with the chicken mixture and fold excess pastry over the top.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Cool: Allow the mini pot pies to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
