- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Pro Tips
Creating the perfect mini chicken pot pie biscuit cups is all about technique. Here are some expert tips to ensure your dish turns out perfectly every time:
- Ensure the biscuit dough is cold before pressing it into the muffin tins. This helps the dough hold its shape better during baking.
- For a creamier filling, mix a tablespoon of cream cheese into the chicken mixture before spooning it into the biscuit cups.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor to your filling.
- Brush the tops of the biscuit dough with melted butter before baking for a golden, crispy finish.
One of the most important tips is to not overfill the biscuit cups. The filling should be heaping but contained within the cup, allowing the dough to rise and encase the filling properly.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Biscuit Dough
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. While the oven is heating, take the refrigerated biscuit dough out of the package. Split each biscuit in half, and press each half into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin to form a cup shape.
Making the Chicken Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, thawed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, mix in any of the optional add-ins for extra flavor.
For a smooth and consistent filling, make sure the chicken is evenly diced, and the vegetables are distributed throughout the mixture.
Assembling and Baking
Spoon the chicken filling into each prepared biscuit cup, filling them generously but not overflowing. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the mini pot pies to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm for the best taste.

FAQ
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated?
Yes, you can certainly use homemade biscuit dough if you prefer. Just ensure the dough is rolled out to a similar thickness as the refrigerated version. This will maintain the cooking time and ensure the dough is cooked through. Keep in mind that homemade dough may have a slightly different texture but can add a personal touch to your mini chicken pot pie biscuit cups.
How can I make the filling even creamier?
To achieve an even creamier filling, consider adding a tablespoon of cream cheese or a splash of heavy cream to the chicken mixture. These ingredients can enhance the richness of the filling and provide a more luxurious texture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the cream cheese is well incorporated and the filling remains smooth.
