- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, carrots, salt, pepper, and thyme. Remove from heat.
- Unroll the pie crusts. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles that fit into your muffin tin cups. You will need 24 circles.
- Press 12 circles into the greased muffin tin cups, forming the bottom crusts.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the crusts.
- Cut out 12 more circles for the tops. Place them over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top crusts for steam to escape.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or potatoes.
- For a shortcut, use pre-made pie crust dough.
