This Mini Chicken Pot Pies with Pie Crust recipe is an easy way to make individual chicken pot pies that the whole family will love!
We used our 5 inch pie maker machine for this recipe, but if you don’t have one, you can still use this recipe to make 4 mini pies with 5″ mini pie pans. You can probably find the disposable aluminum pie pans or non stick metal pie pans at your grocery store or from these links from Amazon. If you want to get really fancy, then bake them in these white porcelain mini pie baking dishes and then serve them in the same dish, get them from Amazon here.
The filling comes together in about a half hour, and the pies took 8-10 minutes to bake (4 at a time).
Everyone loved them, so this recipe is definitely a winner!
Please note that this recipe makes the same amount as needed for baking a full-sized chicken pot pie, so if you’re looking for a chicken pot pie recipe, look no further.

Great chicken pie recipe I got a dash pie maker for christmas
Can you freeze the pies?
Hi Deb, yes, you can freeze these pies before baking them. Just wrap the uncooked pie in the pie tin with plastic wrap – I like to use two layers, then place into a zip top freezer bag and label with the date. These pies will last for 4-6 months in the freezer and still be of good quality when you bake them. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking. They might take a little longer to bake from the fridge vs. room temperature.
What is the pie maker you refer to?? Have been looking online for one.
Hi Kris, they don’t make my model anymore, which is a shame because it is a 5″ model. Dash makes a 4″ model you can find on Amazon, but it seems they are out of stock today.
Could you make up the filling and use what you want for that day and keep the rest for another day? Frozen or refrigerated?
You sure can! I would refrigerate the filling if you are going to use it soon but it will freeze just as well. Thanks for trying it out! 🙂
