Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a muffin tin or mini pie tins.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook until the mixture thickens.

Add the shredded chicken, peas, carrots, corn, green beans, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Remove the filling from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Pie Crusts:
Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface.
Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough that are slightly larger than the openings of the muffin tin or mini pie tins.
Press the dough circles into the prepared tins, ensuring they cover the bottom and sides.
Assemble the Mini Pot Pies:
Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into each dough-lined cup, filling them generously.
Cut additional dough circles to cover the tops of the pies.
Place the dough circles over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the Pot Pies:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool in the tins for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve:
Serve the mini chicken pot pies warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Tips for Perfect Mini Chicken Pot Pies:
Dough Choice: Use store-bought pie crusts for convenience, or make your own for a homemade touch.
Veggie Variety: Customize the filling with your favorite vegetables or whatever you have on hand.
Seal Well: Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
