• Combine the chicken, mixed vegetables and cream of chicken soup in a medium bowl and stir well.
• Separate each of the biscuits and place them into the compartments of a greased muffin tin.
• Using your fingers, push down on the dough starting in the middle, then working the dough up the sides of each of the muffin compartments, as high as it will go.
• Add the filling to each of the compartments (approximately 2 Tablespoons each).
• Bake at 375F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

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.

PARTY MINI CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450°.
• Unroll or unfold a piecrust on work surface.
• Using the upside-down potpie tin as a guide, cut a circle of dough about 1/2 inch larger than the tin.
• If you're making more than one potpie, simply cut another circle from the dough. Reroll the scraps to cut out a third and repeat witht the other crust.
• Crumple a piece of aluminum foil into a 1 1/2-inch ball and set it in a potpie tin. Cover it with a layer of foil to create a smooth mound, then lay a circle of dough on top.
• Press the tines of a fork around the edge of the dough to crimp it, then use the fork to gently poke a few holes in the crust.
• Beat the egg with the water, then brush the mixture over the dough.
• Set the pie tin on a baking sheet a nd repeat for the other crusts.
• Bake the crusts for about 10 minutes.
• Let cool completely.
• Prepare the pudding and milk according to the package directions.
• Refrigerate until serving time.
• Place the Starburst or Tootsie Roll candies unwrapped on a paper plate and warm them in the microwave just until they're slightly softened, about 12 to 15 seconds, (the Jolly Rancher candies will soften from the warmth of your hands.)
• Once you've shaped them, lay the candies on waxed paper or a paper plate, set apart from each other so they won't stick together.
• Corn kernels: Roll the yellow candy between your hands or on a clean work surface to create a 4-inch-long rope, then use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut the rope into 1/4-inch pieces.
• With your fingers, form each piece into a kernel by flattening one end and pinching the other.
• Chicken: Use kitchen shears or a knife to cut the apple rings into 1/2-inch-wide pieces.
• Peas: Roll the green candy into a 5-inch-long rope. Cut the rope into 1/4-inch pieces, then roll each piece into a ball.
• Potatoes: Peel the banana, slice off three 1/4-inch-thick pieces, then cut each piece into small cubes.
• Cubed carrots: Cut each orange candy into 4 squares.
• To assemble the pie just before serving time, spoon about 2/3 cup of the pudding into the each pie tin.
• Add the candies and the fruit to the pudding, then set the piecrust on top.

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POTPIES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring the vegetables around, until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to combine. Cook the flour-coated veggies for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine, if using!) and stir to combine. Let it heat up and start to bubble and thicken, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken, then add the turmeric and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Add the half-and-half, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pie crusts slightly and cut out 8 dough circles just a bit larger than the pie pans (if using a muffin tin, you'll need sixteen 3 3/4-inch circles). Press a dough circle into each pie pan (or 8 muffin cups), making sure the dough comes almost to the top of each pan. Fill the pies with the chicken mixture. Lay a second round of dough over the top of each pie. Press the dough so that the edges meet, then use a fork to seal the edges. Mix the egg with 2 teaspoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (Discard any extra egg wash.) Cut small vents in the surface of the crusts.
• If you're baking the pies right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, place the pies on a baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Serve them straight out of the pie pans or turn them out of the pan and serve them upside down!

• Lay out puff pastry sheets and use a small 6-inch (15 cm) bowl to cut circles out of it.
• Place dough circles in a nonstick muffin tin and fill with pot pie mixture.
• Using remaining puff pastry, cut ⅛-inch (3 mm) strips of dough, and make a lattice top for each muffin cup. Brush the lattice tops with the egg.
