Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Crust
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Optional Topping
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Roll out the pie crusts and use a round cutter or glass to cut circles slightly larger than the muffin cups.
- Press the dough circles into the muffin tin cups, gently forming small pie shells.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each crust-lined cup.
- Cut additional dough circles or strips to create tops for the pies. Place them over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, or create a lattice pattern if desired.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the pies to cool for 5–10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
