How to Make Mini Biscuit Chicken Pot Pies
Making these mini chicken pot pies is a breeze. Just pop the biscuits in the oven, cook the filling in a sauté pan, and then put it all together on top of the biscuit – all done within 20 minutes!
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (or temperature stated on the package of refrigerated biscuits). Place biscuits on a baking pan.
Cook Biscuits: Brush biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle a pinch of dry ranch mix on top of each biscuit before placing them in the oven. Cook for approximately 13- 16 minutes, or according to the directions on the biscuit package.
Melt Cream Cheese: While biscuits are cooking, prepare the filling. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat the cream cheese and milk, until cream cheese is melted and mixture is smooth.
Add Ranch Mix & Cheese: Add the remaining dry ranch mix (about 1 tablespoon worth) and shredded cheddar cheese and mix till well combined. Cook, while stirring, for approximately 2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
Mix in Frozen Vegetables and Chicken: Next, add the frozen mixed vegetables and cooked and shredded chicken. Continue to heat mixture for approximately 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables and chicken are warmed all the way through.
Assemble: Once biscuits are cooked, remove from the oven. Split each biscuit in half lengthwise. Pour a generous scoop of the chicken mixture over the bottom piece of biscuit and cover with the top piece of biscuit. Serve immediately!

- What Chicken to Use: I used cooked chicken breast but you can also use rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken.
- Gravy/Sauce Substitution: if you want to skip the cream cheese and milk mixture, you could just use cream of chicken soup and mix the chicken and veggies into that.
- Cheese Substitutions: if you don’t have cheddar, Colby or Monterey Jack will also work.
Serving Suggestions
Stuck on what to serve with these chicken pot pies? Don’t stress! I’ve got some ideas:
- A Salad: leafy greens like this Greek Salad go great with chicken pot pie.
- Other Vegetables: a side of oven roasted potatoes, green beans, air fryer corn on the cob or broccoli are some good ideas!
- Mashed Potatoes: to soak up that creamy sauce with! Or, you could pair the pot pies with these delicious Instant Pot Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
To store leftovers, I like to store my filling and biscuits separately, otherwise they will get very mushy. Remember this when serving, don’t fill all your biscuits unless you think you will eat them all!
When you want to reheat the biscuits, pop them in the toaster oven/regular oven for a minute or two for best texture, or simply microwave. For the filling, I reheat it in the microwave, stirring often.
Can You Freeze Homemade Pot Pie?
Sure you can. It makes the most sense to freeze the chicken pot pie filling in one airtight container, and make the biscuits fresh each time. I would suggest you thaw and eat the leftovers within 3 months.
These Ranch Biscuit Chicken Pot Pies are a fast and easy dinner that is still packed with flavor and very filling. They are family approved — all three of my kids gobble this one up — and require little work on my part!
