• 1 cup mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn) – fresh or frozen
• 1 cup cream of chicken soup (or homemade)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh parsley)
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Tools You’ll Need

• 12-cup muffin tin
• Rolling pin
• Mixing bowl and spoon
• Pastry brush

Ingredient Swaps and Additions

• Add diced potatoes for a heartier filling.
• Make it vegetarian by using mushrooms or extra veggies instead of chicken.

How to Make Easy Mini Chicken Pot Pies

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Make the filling In a large bowl, mix chicken, veggies, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, parsley, thyme, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Prepare the pastry cups Roll out puff pastry sheets slightly and cut each into 6 equal squares (12 total). Press each square gently into the muffin cups, letting the corners stick up for a pretty look.
4. Fill and top Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the pastry cups.
5. Brush with egg wash Lightly brush exposed pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Bake Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
7. Cool slightly and serve Let the pies cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing — the filling will be hot!

What to Serve with Mini Chicken Pot Pies

• A crisp side salad with lemon vinaigrette
• Roasted green beans or asparagus
• Fresh fruit salad for a light finish

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a 350°F oven until hot and crisp.
• Freeze before baking for up to 1 month — bake straight from frozen, adding 5–7 minutes to bake time.
