Prep time: 15 minutes
-
Cook time: 15–18 minutes
-
Servings: 12 mini pies
Ingredients
-
1 can (16.3 oz) Refrigerated flaky layers biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands)
-
1.5 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works best!)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) Condensed cream of chicken soup
-
1 cup Frozen mixed peas and carrots (thawed)
-
½ tsp Garlic powder
-
½ tsp Onion powder
-
¼ tsp Dried thyme or rosemary
-
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-slot muffin tin thoroughly.
-
The Crust: Take each biscuit and press it out flat. Press one biscuit into each muffin slot, pushing it up the sides to create a “cup.”
-
The Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, peas, carrots, and spices.
-
Fill: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each biscuit cup. Don’t overfill, or they’ll bubble over and stick to the pan!
-
Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Cool: Let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Run a butter knife around the edges to pop them out easily.
Expert Tips
-
Don’t Suffer the Sog: To keep the bottom from getting soggy, you can pre-bake the empty biscuit cups for 5 minutes before adding the wet filling.
-
The Golden Finish: Brush the exposed edges of the biscuits with melted butter and a pinch of parsley right after they come out of the oven.
-
Variation: Swap the biscuits for Puff Pastry squares if you want an even lighter, “fancier” texture.

Q&A
Q: Can I freeze these?
A: Yes! Bake them fully, let them cool, and freeze. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to maintain the crunch. Microwaving will make the biscuit soft.
Q: My filling is too thick, what should I do?
A: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream to the mixture before filling the cups.
Q: Can I make these vegetarian?
A: Absolutely. Swap the chicken for chopped mushrooms or extra potatoes, and use Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Celery soup instead.
Q: What if I don’t have a muffin tin?
A: You can make “Pot Pie Pockets” by placing the filling in the center of the biscuit, folding it over like a taco, and crimping the edges with a fork.
Are you planning on using a rotisserie chicken for these, or are you starting with fresh chicken breasts?
