👩🍳 How to Make Mini Chicken Pot Pie Biscuit Cups
⭐ Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.
This helps the biscuit cups release easily after baking.
⭐ Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
Open the canned chicken and drain it very well.
Use a fork to break up any larger chunks into bite-sized pieces.
Smaller pieces distribute better throughout the filling and make each cup easier to eat.
⭐ Step 3: Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Drained chicken
- Thawed mixed vegetables
- Cream of chicken soup
Mix until everything is evenly coated.
⭐ Step 4: Season the Filling
Add black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of thyme.
The cream of chicken soup already provides plenty of flavor, so you usually won’t need much salt.
Stir everything together until creamy and well combined.
⭐ Step 5: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the tube of biscuits and separate them.
Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin until it becomes a larger circle.
Don’t make them too thin—you want enough dough to create a sturdy cup.
⭐ Step 6: Form the Biscuit Cups
Press each flattened biscuit into the muffin tin.
Carefully push the dough down into the bottom and up the sides.
The dough should create a little bowl that can hold plenty of filling.
⭐ Step 7: Fill the Cups
Spoon the chicken mixture into each biscuit cup.
Fill generously but avoid overfilling, as the filling may bubble over while baking.
⭐ Step 8: Shape the Tops
Gently pull some of the biscuit dough upward toward the center.
This helps cradle the filling and gives the cups that classic pot pie appearance.
⭐ Step 9: Bake
Place the muffin tin into the oven and bake for about 20–22 minutes.
The biscuit edges should become beautifully golden brown and the filling should be hot and bubbly.
⭐ Step 10: Cool Slightly
Remove from the oven and allow the cups to rest for about 5 minutes.
This helps the filling set slightly and makes removal easier.
⭐ Step 11: Serve and Enjoy
Carefully lift each biscuit cup from the muffin tin and serve warm.
The creamy filling and flaky biscuit crust make the perfect bite every time.

💡 10 Detailed Tips for the Best Mini Chicken Pot Pie Biscuit Cups
⭐ Drain the chicken extremely well
Extra liquid can make the filling too loose and cause soggy biscuit bottoms.
⭐ Thaw and drain vegetables first
Frozen vegetables release water while baking, so draining helps keep the filling creamy.
⭐ Don’t flatten the biscuits too thin
You want enough dough to support the filling and create sturdy cups.
⭐ Grease the muffin tin generously
This makes removal much easier after baking.
⭐ Use a cookie scoop for even filling
This helps all the cups bake consistently.
⭐ Leave a little room at the top
Overfilled cups may bubble over during baking.
⭐ Brush the biscuit edges with melted butter
This gives the crust a beautiful golden bakery-style finish.
⭐ Add cheese to the center
A little cheddar inside creates an extra creamy surprise.
⭐ Allow the cups to rest before removing
The filling thickens slightly as it cools.
⭐ Reheat in the air fryer or oven
This keeps the biscuit crust crisp and flaky.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To Reheat:
