Print Recipe

These quick and easy chicken pot pie hand pies use rotisserie chicken and puff pastry for a comforting, portable meal ready in about 30 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights, lunchboxes, or game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole, 2%, or almond)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 6 equal rectangles (about 4×5 inches each).
  4. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of filling on one half of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold the empty half over the filling to form a rectangle. Press edges to seal, then crimp with a fork.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of each hand pie with egg wash. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  6. Cut 2-3 small slits in the top of each hand pie for steam vents.
  7. Place hand pies on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold for best flakiness. Do not overfill hand pies (2-3 tablespoons per pie). If filling seems watery, add 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch. For make-ahead, assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze unbaked for up to 3 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer for crispy pastry.
