Parmesan Chicken Mini Pies Recipes

MINI CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI POT PIES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-count mini-muffin pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
• For the pot pie filling: Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salt, pepper, Parmesan, chicken and broccoli.
• For assembly: On a lightly-floured work surface, roll out the dough 1/8-inch thick. Using the 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 pieces of dough. Using the 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out another 12 pieces of dough. Press the large rounds of dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spoon the sauce into the pastry.
• Combine the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, using a fork. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg mixture and place the remaining pieces of dough on top. Lightly press the edges of the dough together to seal. Press around the edges of the pies using the tines of a fork. Brush the tops of each pie with the beaten egg. Cut a 1/2-inch-long slit into the top of the pies using a paring knife. Bake until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbling, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and serve.

SARAH'S MINI CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin and place on a baking sheet.
• Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat; add onion to the hot oil and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add peas, mushrooms, and carrots, followed by chicken broth. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and mixture thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Whisk flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Work butter into the mixture using your fingers, working quickly to prevent melting, until thoroughly mixed. Scoop mixture into a volcano-shaped cone with a well in the top. Pour in buttermilk. Bring dough together using a fork, trying to moisten all flour bits, until moist and shaggy.
• Take a ball of batter and smooth into one of the prepared muffin cups. Fill with chicken mixture. Repeat until all muffin cups are filled. Cover each with a rolled layer of dough, sealing sides to prevent filling from spilling.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue to bake until crust is light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes more. Serve immediately.
