Mini Chicken Pot Pies – recipe adapted from CookingVillage.com
Ingredients
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
2 (5-ounce) cans chunk white chicken, drained (or 1 cup of diced, cooked chicken)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (10-count) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Directions

1. Cook the peas and carrots according to the package directions; drain well.
2. Combine the peas, carrots, chicken, Cheddar, cream cheese, onion, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix well.
3. Preheat the oven to 325F. Separate the biscuits into halves. Press the bottom half of each biscuit into each of 10 muffin cups. Spoon equal portions of the chicken mixture into the prepared muffin cups. Cover with the top halves of the biscuits. Press the edges to seal. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

The chicken pot pies were so good!! Just made them tonight. My biscuits didn’t seal, but nothing leaked out either. They are probably going to be a new family favorite! Thanks!!
