HOMEMADE MINI CHICKEN POT PIES
These almost-homemade Mini Chicken Pot Pies are the perfect finger-food for a party! Or a last-minute dinner that your kids will love. Crescent rolls from a can make prep quick and easy!
I just want to start out by saying that when Bob Marly died, they found multiple species of bugs in his dreadlocks. Or so the stories say. Please, believe the stories, because it will soften the blow of what I’m about to tell you.
So we’re in the kitchen getting dinner ready. Eric and Charlotte are coaching Truman on how to treat bugs. (You know, training him not to demolish them on sight.) “Be NICE to the bugs, Truman! Bugs are our friends!”
Then I run my fingers through my hair and there it is. The tiniest (dare I say cutest?) little slug, waving its antennae at me. No bigger than my pinky fingernail. We both just stared at each other. Then I screamed.
INGREDIENTS:
8-count biscuits
1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced (any leftover chicken works)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. frozen veggies, thawed (I used 1 c. corn, peas and carrots & 1/2 c. broccoli)
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon of minced onion
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook the chicken however you like, then cut into small pieces
Separate biscuits and place each biscuit in a cup of a lightly greased 12-hole muffin pan, pressing dough up sides to edge of cup.
In a medium bowl, combine chicken, chicken soup, veggies, cheddar cheese, parsley flakes, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Evenly spoon chicken mixture into prepared biscuit cups.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven. Place muffin pan on a wire rack and let set for 2-3 minutes. Serve at once.
