FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)
Change it up a bit when you’re ready. Think about adding different seasonings like garlic or onion powder or even some Ranch Seasoning!
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.
I used the regular-sized biscuits (not the jumbo ones) for this recipe.
Feel free to use a rotisserie chicken for this recipe or canned chicken. Or just boil and dice two chicken breasts.
Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
These can be frozen. Just make sure you wrap them up well to protect against freezer burn.
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.
Spoon chicken mixture into biscuit cups, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for about 15 minutes (until bubbly and biscuits are golden).
Makes 4 to 5 servings (2 pot pies each.)

Looking forward to making these tonight with my almost 5 yr old daughter. She loves to try and help me with dinner and this is a great recipe for her skill level (except for the chicken boiling part, of course 😉 )
She also tends to eat more of dinner when it's something that she's "made."
Have a blessed day!
we have made these for years and my mom made them way back when but we called it chicken in a biscuit only she used something called veg all in a can for the vegies, we add chopped cooked potatoes and frozen veggies. They are a wonderful quick meal
I made these a while ago and never did get to comment but they were positively delish and EASY!
You never disappoint!

How well do these freeze? My husband is a vegetarian and I won't eat 10 in one sitting :). Can I freeze the leftovers then nuke them when I want to eat some?
what a great idea and we love pot pies also..I can eat them a couple times a week. these are home made and easy although I wouldn't mind the recipe for yours from scratch to see how difficult it would be to try that. I did make 1 that a chef made and it was tasty but the crust came out too thick and although i love it my bf didn't like the crust that thick. ty for sharing, Eva
Oh my husband would LOVE this recipe! He's always asking for chicken pot pi but its just so much work! I will definitely make this for him.
I totally agree with writing down your alterations in the cookbooks. I truly treasure finding marked up recipes in my grandmothers and moms cookbooks- I love knowing how they made it better. HOWEVER I do write a lot ( and highlight) in my bible. I mostly highlight verses that really speak to me or impressions I get when reading Someday when my grandchildren read my bible they'll know how treasured it was and what I believed.
I was just posting some ideas for mini cups on my blog, I honestly forgot all about this nice little convience item until I read the gooseberry patch challenge this week.
I have a ton of ideas to use the cups with, just about any left overs can me turned into mini pies or "cups" I am planning on making a variety of these for my sister's summer school she will be having. I got some ideas from the kids on what they like so I will be posting the recipes as I get them.
Made this recipe and it was so good, quick and easy too!
Made these over the weekend and the family loved them.
Thank you so much for letting me know! So happy you liked these!!
I've been making something similiar to this for years, called "Bar B Cups" using the bisquits(now use Grands NEW Honey Butter biscuits). Made with hamburger meat, barbecue sauce & brown sugar. Sprinkle with cheese for last 5 mins. Can't wait to do this with chicken!! Thanks!! -M
Oh I love the idea of BBQ and ground beef with this! Thank you for the idea – will definitely try it!
I love that you used rotisserie chicken – I bet that tasted so good in this!! Thank you so much for letting me know how it turned out for you. I'm SO happy you liked this one!
Wow made this for dinner tonight! Incredible. I used Grands buttermilk biscuits. I also used a rotisserie chicken. My son just loved them, he ate way too many of them! LOL I loved too. Quick and easy and easy clean up as well!!! A must try.
These are amazingly easy and good!
Love your blog, and this recipe was yummy!! Kids gobbled them up!
These are too cute! I love this cook book. Can't wait to get a copy.
Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week, and Merry Christmas!

I think my boys would love this – thanks for sharing! I do the same thing with my cookbooks – they are all scribbled in and marked with dates/comments/changes. We have a few recipes that my mom had done that with, and I love seeing her handwriting and comments when looking through one of her old books! 🙂
Made it – loved it! Thank you for such a quick and easy recipe the whole family loved!
I like the sound of this cookbook! Perfect for a working wifey 🙂 These minis look amazing! Well done!

I am going to try these!!
This is fantastic for those week night meals that you want to be quick and satisfying at the same time. I love the idea of preparing them in a muffin pan, brilliant!
I think these are definitely going on the menu for next week. My 13 yr old announced he would like to start the cooking around here – the angels sang. But I need some recipes and this sounds like the ticket!
These are so cute. I'm such a sucker for anything baked in a muffin cup. (And I think my kids are too!) 🙂
Yum, this does look very tasty and easy to make. I love this kind of dish on those busy evenings.
Cookbooks are made for altering here too. I always mark mine up after I've made something. 🙂
