Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Make the Sauce: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, cooking until the mixture thickens. Add the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
Assemble the Pies: Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into circles to fit your muffin tin. Place the circles in the muffin tin and fill each with the chicken mixture. Cover with another circle of pie crust, sealing the edges.
Bake: Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the mini pot pies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delicious snack!
