Hi, everyone! I’m Lisa from Retro Housewife Goes Green. I’m so excited to share my recipe for mini chicken pot pies over here on The Good Mama.

Chicken pot pie is a wonderful comfort food for fall and winter. It can be very time consuming though. However, this recipes uses a homemade biscuit crust made from a homemade baking mix in place of the traditional pie crust. It takes just minutes to mix up!

It’s great with leftover chicken, turkey, or even ham. You also can put leftover vegetables in it. This makes it perfect for after Thanksgiving to use up all those leftovers.

In my home we like to use chicken and broccoli. It’s delicious and everyone always asks for seconds. It also reheats well if you have leftovers.

Getting kids to eat vegetables can be a challenge, one that Tricia has addressed. Thankfully this recipe is super kid-friendly. The cheesy sauce can help make the veggies more easily accepted by your kids. Plus the small size is a lot of fun.

I  enjoy making this after Thanksgiving with leftover turkey and any leftover vegetables. Even if you have already had your fill of turkey this is so flavorful you won’t mind eating it one more time.

If you are a vegetarian just skip the meat, double up on the veggies and use a vegetable stock instead of the chicken broth. It’s a lot of fun to play with.
