I am always on the look out for ways to hide veggies in our meals, feeding children is hard work! Not only do I want our meals to be quick, easy and yummy but also nutritious! Getting all of those things into one meal is really hard.
Mini Chicken Pot Pies
This week I decided to try one of our favorite meals but in a mini version – Chicken Pot Pie. Guess what…the pickiest eater (Teagan) LOVED this meal! Jude, well he ate everything inside the pies…not the biscuits. Hey, he ate his veggies!! I call this recipe a Kid Approved and Veggie Hidden Meal!
Ingredients:
8 oz of frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/4 cup cooked chicken breast, cubed
10 biscuits (Jr. size works best)
Pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Thaw the frozen mixed veggies.
2. Cube the precooked chicken breast.3. In a large mixing bowl combine the chicken, vegetables and Cream of Chicken Soup. Mix well. Add pepper for taste.
4. In a muffin tin, create “pie crusts” using the biscuits. Flatten the biscuits to cover the entire cup.
5. Fill each tin with about 2 TBSP of the chicken mixture.
6. Top each pie with cheddar cheese.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The cheese should be melted and the biscuits should be golden brown.
8. Remove from oven, let pies sit for 3-5 minutes, then serve! Enjoy!
These are great freezer meals to consider! Bake a few batches and let them cool completely and place in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze. Reheat in the oven when ready to eat!! So good!! And super hearty!

ah! I had these on my "to freeze" list, but didn't make them! I totally should – they look so yummy!
These look so easy to make. Next time I make biscuits I will try making these.
Those look awesome!!!
That looks so good. I would have never thought to do that. The only thing I would have left out would be the peas I am not a fan of peas.
I am hungry! Those are delicious!
Love mini versions of these. The big pies are so messy to eat and usually so filling. I also like how easy this would be for a freezer meal!
seriously so freaking easy. Why did I not think of this!
