Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1/2 cup onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it's ready for baking your delicious pie cups.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

      Incorporate Chicken and Vegetables: Stir in the shredded chicken and mixed vegetables into the skillet. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

        Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Season with dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly for about 5 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat.

          Prepare Biscuit Cups: While your filling simmers, take a muffin tin and generously spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate it into 8 individual biscuits. Roll each biscuit into a flat circle, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

            Shape the Biscuit Cups: Carefully press each rolled biscuit round into a muffin tin, ensuring it covers both the bottom and sides to form a cup shape.

              Fill the Cups: Evenly distribute the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture into each biscuit cup, filling them nearly to the top without overflowing.

                Apply Egg Wash: With a pastry brush, lightly coat the edges of the biscuit cups with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden finish as they bake.

                  Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and fully cooked.

                    Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cups to cool for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
