EASY Mini Chicken Pot Pies that actually taste delicious

In today’s post: These mini chicken pot pies are so simple to put together – and a few extra ingredients make them surprisingly delicious!

We all know what it’s like to have picky eaters, right? I swear I did everything I could to introduce my kids to a large variety of food when they were young, but they were still just so picky about food. One child used to hide his chicken nuggets when I wasn’t looking – that’s right, he didn’t even want to eat chicken nuggets! And no, it’s not much fun to find petrified chicken nuggets weeks later when you are cleaning out the shoe bin 🤢.

It’s also not much fun to prep one meal for the kids and one meal for the adults…or to be stuck eating “kid friendly” food every night of the week.

Mini chicken pot pies are super easy to make and taste really delicious! Simple comfort food at it's best. Easy kid friendly dinner idea.

That’s one of the reasons I like these mini chicken pot pies. They taste just like a real chicken pot pie – creamy and comforting and delicious! – but they’re easy to make and kid friendly.

Mini Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients

The standard “recipe” for mini chicken pot pies (or chicken pot pie muffins) calls for just four ingredients:

  • refrigerated biscuits
  • cooked chicken
  • frozen vegetables
  • cream of chicken soup

I tried that recipe years ago and it’s just fine. My kids liked it, but my husband and I weren’t crazy about it. It was just a little too bland and boring. So I’ve adjusted it slightly and it’s made a huge difference! These are really quite good.

These are the ingredients I use:

  • refrigerated CRESCENT rolls
  • cooked chicken
  • frozen vegetables
  • cream of chicken soup
  • sour cream
  • poultry seasoning + pepper

Mini chicken pot pie ingredients: crescent rolls, cream of chicken soup, chicken, sour cream, vegetables, seasoning

Using Crescents instead of refrigerated biscuits makes a big difference in how these taste – the crust is flakier and more buttery and just all around yummier. And adding sour cream and some seasonings to the cream of chicken soup gives a much richer flavor.

This is kid-friendly food that I can actually look forward to.

The recipe makes 8 muffins. Adults will definitely want 2, maybe 3, so depending on your family size you may want to double it.

    I just made these for me and the kids, and they turned out great! So easy and the kids ate them all up! I had enough chicken mixture for 2 rolls of biscuits so 20 mini pot pies in all. With a side salad it was a great easy dinner thanks!

      I actually use precooked rotisserie chicken, but you can cook chicken breasts in your preferred method and chop them up for this recipe.

    Your recipe is a godsend for feeding a crowd. Thank you! I am going to experiment around with the crust for reheating, as am looking into making a bunch of these to be reheated both in microwaves and in a commercial oven.

      Nope! Undiluted keeps the filling from getting too runny.

      I haven’t tried them as a freezer meal – I don’t know how the biscuits would do from frozen. Let me know if you try it!
