How to Make Mini 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! Check out the recipe card for detailed instructions.
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (or temperature stated on the package of refrigerated biscuits) and place the raw biscuits on a baking pan.
- Cook Biscuits: Brush the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle a pinch of dry ranch mix on top of each before placing them in the oven. Cook for about 13- 16 minutes until they’re golden brown.
- Mix: While the biscuits are cooking, let’s make the filling! Heat the cream cheese and milk together and then add in the ranch mix and shredded cheese. Mix that together fully and then add in the frozen veggies and chicken. Continue to stir and heat up the filling for another 5-7 minutes until everything is warmed through.
- Assemble: Once the biscuits are cooked, split them 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!
Tips for Best Results
Looking for some tips on constructing these mini chicken pot pies? Check out these:
- What Chicken to Use: We 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.
What to Serve With Mini Chicken Pot Pie
You could honestly serve these tasty morsels all on their own. But if you want to create a more complete meal, don’t stress! Here are some great ideas to inspire you!
- Salad: Leafy greens like this Greek salad go great with our mini chicken pot pies.
- Other Vegetables: Even though these have some frozen veggies in the filling, a nice side dish always adds to the meal! We suggest a side of oven roasted potatoes, green beans, air fryer corn on the cob, or broccoli!
- Mashed Potatoes: To soak up that creamy sauce with of course! Or, you could pair the pot pies with these delicious instant pot mashed sweet potatoes.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
The filling in these mini chicken pot pies holds up really well in both the fridge and the freezer. Here’s how to handle those leftovers.
- Refrigerate: To store leftovers, we like to store our 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!
- Reheat: 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, we reheat it in the microwave, stirring often.
- Freeze: It makes the most sense to freeze the chicken pot pie filling in one airtight container, and make the biscuits fresh each time. We would suggest you thaw and eat the leftovers within 3 months.
