Sometimes it’s impossible to have dinner ready for the family, but to make something our son will like too makes meals even harder. He loves pot pies, but when I pull those out of their box I worry what could really be in those things. Really I have never worried about processed foods but when you pull a pie out of a box and it look more like a brick you wonder what it could really be made out of. Well, the worry is over.
These mini chicken pot pies were so easy to make and my son absolutely loves them. We were watching Toy Story for the billionth time and he just enjoyed his entire mini chicken pot pie while watching Buzz and Woody argue over if Buzz was toy or not. He’s seen it a billion times, but he was so intrigued with his mini chicken pot pie that he ate every bite. As a matter of fact, he ate two of them and then another one the same night. 
It’s hard finding that perfect meal for your kids, especially this time of year. We get so busy with all the hustle and bustle, but we have to remember that maybe we aren’t hungry, our kids are. These mini chicken pot pies are not only delicious, but super easy to make. To find a delicious and simple recipe is like finding gold. Give these mini chicken pot pies a try.
