Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let cool, then dice into small pieces.
Prepare the Vegetables
Dice onion, peel and dice carrots into small pieces.
Make the Filling Base
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and carrots, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Create the Roux
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.
Add Liquids
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Simmer Sauce
Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Chicken and Peas
Stir in diced chicken, peas, thyme, remaining salt, and pepper.
Cool Filling
Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Prepare Muffin Tin
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Prepare Pie Crust
Unroll pie crusts on a lightly floured surface.
Cut Crust Circles
Using a 3.5-inch round cutter, cut 12 circles from the pie crusts for the bottoms. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut 12 circles for the tops.
Form Bottom Crusts
Press the larger circles into the muffin cups, ensuring they come up the sides.
Fill the Crusts
Spoon the filling evenly into each crust-lined cup.
Add Top Crusts
Place the smaller circles on top of each filled cup. Press edges to seal and make small slits in the tops for steam to escape.
Make Egg Wash
Beat egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
Brush with Egg Wash
Brush the tops of each pie with egg wash.
Bake
Bake for 20-25 minutes until crusts are golden brown.
Cool
Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes.
Serve
Carefully remove pies from the muffin tin and serve warm.
