Ingredients

→ Filling

01 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
02 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, peas), thawed
03 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup

→ Crust

04 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)

Steps

Step 01

Lightly spray eight cups of a metal muffin pan with baking spray to prevent sticking and ensure crisp, golden crusts.

Step 02

In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the cooked chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, and condensed cream of chicken soup to create an even filling.

Step 03

Carefully open the biscuit can and press each biscuit into an even 5-inch circle with uniform thickness to ensure even baking.

Step 04

Gently fit each flattened biscuit into the muffin cups, pressing dough into corners and leaving some dough to hang over edges to form rims that hold the filling.

Step 05

Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the biscuit-lined cups, filling generously but avoiding overflow.

Step 06

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes until crusts are golden brown and filling is hot and bubbling.

Step 07

Allow the mini pies to rest in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing to ensure easier handling and neat presentation.

Notes & Tips

  1. For best results, flatten the biscuit dough evenly to avoid doughy bottoms and cool the pies briefly before removing from the pan.
  2. Leftover pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in a 300°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes to maintain crust crispness.
  3. Use a metal muffin pan for superior heat conduction and a crisper crust.
  4. Adding dried herbs such as thyme or parsley to the filling prior to baking enhances flavor.
