🥧 Mini Chicken Pot Pies – The Golden Comforts You Can Hold in Your Hand

📖 INTRODUCTION

Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that leave the biggest impact—and these Mini Chicken Pot Pies are living proof.
Golden. Flaky. Creamy. Savory.
They’re everything a full pot pie promises… in a perfect handheld bite. Whether you’re making them for cozy family dinners, lunchboxes, parties, or solo comfort feasts, these little pies steal the show—and the leftovers never survive the night.

🕰️ A LITTLE HISTORY

Pot pies date back centuries to European kitchens, where they were used to bake meats and vegetables inside a dough to preserve moisture and flavor.
In colonial America, the humble pot pie was elevated by the Pennsylvania Dutch, who made them creamy, hearty, and filling—a full meal tucked inside buttery pastry.

But now?
We’ve made them mini, portable, and perfect for modern life.
One bite, and you taste the past, the present… and pure joy.

🍗 INGREDIENTS

FOR THE FILLING:

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup cooked potatoes, diced (optional but delicious)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1¼ cups chicken broth
½ cup milk or heavy cream
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works perfectly)
½ tsp thyme
¼ tsp paprika
Salt & pepper, to taste

FOR THE CRUST:

2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
OR use biscuit dough for a softer top

FOR FINISHING:

1 egg (for egg wash – beat with 1 tbsp water)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

🔥 METHODS & INSTRUCTIONS

✨ Step 1: Make the Filling

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic; cook until translucent.
Add carrots, celery, and potatoes (if using). Cook for 5–6 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove raw taste.
Slowly pour in broth, whisking constantly. Add milk or cream.
Simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).
Add chicken, peas, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

✨ Step 2: Form the Mini Pies

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out pie dough and cut circles slightly larger than muffin tin cups.
Press dough into each greased muffin cup, leaving a little overhang.
Fill each cup with the creamy chicken mixture.
Top with another layer of dough or cut-out shapes for decoration.
Crimp edges to seal, and cut a small slit in the top to let steam escape.
Brush with egg wash for that beautiful golden shine.

✨ Step 3: Bake and Serve

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until crusts are golden and crispy.
Let cool slightly before removing from the pan.
Serve warm, with love, maybe a little parsley on top.

🏛️ FORMATION: THE BALANCE OF TEXTURE & TASTE

Each mini pie is a balance of:

A buttery, crisp shell
A creamy, savory filling
Tender vegetables that melt into the sauce
Flavors that feel like home

It’s not just food. It’s a complete experience.
You hold it, you taste it, and suddenly… it’s your favorite thing.

Fall in love, one bite at a time.
