Mini Chicken Pot Pie recipe substitutions and alterations
- Add more veggies. Feel free to use any frozen veggies you’ve got on hand. Frozen mixed veggies (includes the peas and carrots we already have, but adds green beans and corn too) would work great to provide a little more variety! You can also use fresh veggies, but you’ll want to cook them first.
- Make these vegetarian. Leave out the chicken and sub in canned chickpeas or add more veggies instead.
- Use another meat. Feel free to use whatever cooked meat you have on hand. Chopped turkey or ham would both be delicious!
- Make them cheesy. A handful of shredded cheddar would add delicious flavor to the filling. Just add it after you’ve whisked the chicken broth and milk into the butter, flour, and onion mixture.
How to make Mini Chicken Pot Pies
- Get started with the best part: the filling. You start by melting butter in a pan, sauteing minced onion, adding flour, and slowly whisking in the milk and chicken broth.
- From there, we’re making this easy by using rotisserie chicken and frozen veggies.
- Making a chicken pot pie with crescent rolls dough is super easy! You simply roll out the dough, making sure to seal up those triangular cuts with your fingers right away, as you see in the photo on the left. Once that’s done you can use a pizza cutter or a knife to divide it into 16 rectangles.
- Next is the fun part where you assemble the mini pot pies. Add half of the cut dough pieces to a greased muffin pan and spoon an eighth of the mixture into each cup. Add the top layer and seal as best you can. If they don’t seal perfectly, don’t fret. They’ll turn out when they puff up in the oven!
- Don’t forget to slit the top layer of each pie. This keeps them from over expanding as they heat up. Cook them until they’re golden brown and try hard not to eat them too soon. They are so good but you want to keep your mouth from burning raw!
