Mini Chicken Pot Pies

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.

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

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.
