Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

    Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Chicken and Veggies: Stir in the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine.

        Create the Sauce: Add chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.

          Prepare the Muffin Base: Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter to cut out circles, and press them into the muffin tin, allowing for some overhang.

            Fill the Muffins: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top.

              Top with Dough: Cut additional circles from the pie crust to cover the tops of each muffin. You can use a fork to crimp the edges and seal them well. Cut a small slit in the center of each top for steam to escape.

                Egg Wash: Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.

                  Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

                    Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
