FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)

What other seasonings should I try?

Change it up a bit when you’re ready. Think about adding different seasonings like garlic or onion powder or even some Ranch Seasoning!

What do you serve Mini Chicken Pot Pies with?

Serve Mini Chicken Pot Pies with a small salad and/or additional veggies (some bagged steam veggies work great here like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, squash or corn). You could even serve them with your favorite Baked Potatoes, Baked Sweet Potatoes, or Mashed Potatoes.

What biscuits are best to use for mini pot pies?

I used the regular-sized biscuits (not the jumbo ones) for this recipe.

What chicken is the best for pot pie?

Feel free to use a rotisserie chicken for this recipe or canned chicken. Or just boil and dice two chicken breasts.

How to store leftover Mini Chicken Pot Pies?

Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can you freeze Mini Chicken Pot Pies?

These can be frozen. Just make sure you wrap them up well to protect against freezer burn.

What’s the best way to reheat leftover pot pies?

You could reheat in the air fryer but I would suggest microwaving them for a few seconds first then pop them in the microwave so they don’t get too crispy trying to warm back up. Using a microwave is also another option, until they’re warmed through.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

  • refrigerated biscuits – I just get the regular sized biscuits (not the Grands biscuits). There are usually 10 biscuits in a can.
  • cooked chicken – this is a wonderful recipe for leftover chicken or turkey! You can get a rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken to make this easier and faster to prepare.
  • cream of chicken soup – don’t like the canned stuff? Did you know you can make your own Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup? Also, feel free to use any cream soup flavor you enjoy as long as you think the flavors will work well together.
  • shredded cheddar cheese – I just went with a medium cheddar but use any shredded cheese you enjoy. If you want a bit of spice, try using pepper jack. We’ve also used Colby Jack and Monterey Jack and they’ve all turned out great!
  • frozen peas and carrots – this is optional if you are not a veggie fan. If you can’t find frozen peas and carrots, you can use the canned ones (just drain them very well).

HOW TO MAKE MINI CHICKEN POT PIES:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 10 muffin cups with nonstick vegetable spray. Place a biscuit in each muffin cup. Gently press down on each biscuit and push it a quarter of the way up the sides. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients; stir until well blended.

    Loved these but used fresh mushrooms & frozen peas for the veggies. Next going to try with taco meat, cheese & top with tomatoes & olives when they come out of the oven.

    Thanks for posting this recipe again. I only made 2 changes – for the soup – I used Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup. It’s low sodium and has NO! MSG and will not put me in the hospital. I also exchanged the peas (which I totally hate!) to finely diced Broccolini. Thanks again.

    My favorite meal as a kid was my mom's fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. But this casserole might be my future fav!

    I made this last night for dinner with a side salad and fresh corn on the cob! My husband and I loved it! We are never disappointed with your recipes! Thanks for sharing!
