With their flaky, buttery texture and signature htaste, they provide an ideal golden crust that contrasts perfectly with the creamy, savory filling. Let's dive into this easy and satisfying recipe, step by step.

Gathering Ingredients and Prep Work

Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients ready. For the filling, you'll need cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, a wiped-off onion, and a few pantry staples like chicken broth, milk, and flour. A tub of Grands Biscuits and a bit of egg wash for brushing will complete your shopping list.

Start by dicing the cooked chicken and roughly chopping the vegetables. Sweat the diced onion in a pan with some butter, then add the chicken, vegetables, and seasonings. Stir in a roux made from flour and butter to create a thick, creamy base. Finally, pour in chicken broth and milk to bring everything together. Set the mixture aside while you prep the biscuits.

Assembly Time: Filling and Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Scoop the chicken pot pie filling into the muffin cups, using about 1/4 to 1/3 cup filling per cup. Press the filling down gently to compact it and make room for the biscuits.

Separate the Grands Biscuits and roll out each one into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut each rolled-out biscuit into four equal pieces, so you'll have 20 small biscuit rounds in total. Place one biscuit round on top of each filled muffin cup, pressing down gently to adhere.

Baking and Serving

Brush the tops of the biscuit rounds with egg wash for a golden finish and sprinkle with a bit of black pepper or dried herbs for added flavor. Bake the mini chicken pot pies for about 15-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Allow the pies to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before gently removing them and serving. For best results, let each mini pie cool for about 10 minutes before digging in and enjoying the perfect balance of flaky biscuit and creamy chicken pot pie filling.

Customize these Mini Chicken Pot Pies using Grands Biscuits by adding your favorite vegetables or switching up the protein. You could try ham and cheese, turkey and green beans, or even a vegan version with plant-based chicken and vegetables. The sky's the limit when it comes to mix-ins and add-ins!

To meal prep, assemble the pies in the muffin tin and place them in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, follow the recipe's instructions, adding a few minutes to the bake time if baking from chilled.
