Mini Chicken Pot Pie Bites

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Chicken Pot Pie Bites.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 12-cup muffin tin and give it a light greasing.

3. Step 3

   Placing it on a baking sheet is a smart move to catch any drips that might occur during baking.

4. Step 4

   Next, heat a splash of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat.

5. Step 5

   Toss in some diced onion and let it cook until it turns translucent, which should take about 3 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Now, add in bite-sized pieces of chicken and stir occasionally, allowing them to brown lightly for about 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once the chicken is looking good, stir in frozen peas, chopped mushrooms, and carrots.

8. Step 8

   Pour in some chicken broth, lower the heat, and let everything simmer together.

9. Step 9

   Give it a stir now and then until the chicken is fully cooked and the mixture thickens slightly, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes.

10. Step 10

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

11. Step 11

    Then, using your fingers, work in some butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

12. Step 12

    Create a little well in the center and pour in buttermilk.

13. Step 13

    Grab a fork and mix until the dough is moist and a bit shaggy.

14. Step 14

    Now, take a small ball of dough and press it into one of the greased muffin cups, creating a little cup for your filling.

15. Step 15

    Spoon in the delicious chicken mixture, and repeat this process until all the muffin cups are filled.

16. Step 16

    For the finishing touch, cover each filled cup with a rolled layer of dough, sealing the edges tightly to keep all that tasty filling inside.

17. Step 17

    Pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.

18. Step 18

    After that, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking until the crust turns a lovely light golden brown, which should take another 10 to 12 minutes.

19. Step 19

    Once they’re done, serve these delightful chicken muffins warm and enjoy the smiles they bring to your table!.
