1eggfor egg wash(optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and celery; cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in broth and milk until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
Stir in chicken, frozen vegetables, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
Roll out pie crusts and cut into 4–5 inch circles to fit a muffin tin. Press each circle into a muffin cup.
Spoon filling into each crust, leaving a little space at the top. Use leftover dough to create tops if desired and brush with beaten egg for shine.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until bubbling and golden brown. Cool a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey for quick prep. Puff pastry or biscuits can replace pie crust. Don’t overfill muffin cups as filling bubbles while baking. Sprinkle cheese inside for richness. Check crusts at 15 minutes to avoid overbaking.
