- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, combine cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, and chicken broth over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the milk, mixing well to combine.
- Roll out the pie crust and cut it into rounds to fit your muffin tin. Place the rounds in the muffin cups, making sure to press them against the sides.
- Fill each crust with the chicken mixture, being careful not to overfill.
- Cut additional rounds for the tops, or use leftover pie crust scraps to create a lattice pattern. Seal the edges by crimping them together.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the pies for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
