Piggy Chicken Pot Pies

These piggy chicken pot pies are so cute and the kids just loved them! My boys did most all the work on these themselves. You’ll love the chicken pot pie recipe, and if you are not making the pigs you can also just combine everything into a pie dish. We had so much fun making these Piggy Pot Pies and we hope that you have fun making them as well!

Piggy Pot Pie Ingredients

  • Chicken – you will need frozen cubed chicken or you can make chicken breasts and cut into chunks.
  • Veggies – carrots, peas and celery.
  • Roux Mixture – butter, flour, onion, chicken broth and milk.
  • Seasoning – salt, pepper and celery seed.
  • Egg – you will use egg white to brush the top of the pie crust for a nice golden finish.
  • Pie Crust – you can use store-bought refrigerated pie crust or make our Easy Pie Crust Recipe.

How To Make Piggy Pot Pies

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
  • Put your chopped veggies, peas, and diced chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 15 minutes.
  • Roll out your pie crust. We used 4 (6oz) souffle dishes. Place the bottom crust in the dish and press on the bottom and sides.
  • In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Remove from heat and mix into the veggie mixture.
  • Roll out another pie crust to cut out ear and nose shapes.
  • Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crusts.
  • Beat a egg white and brush the top edges of the souffle dish. This is to help the crust stick. Brush the top with the egg wash.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  • Add the ears, noses and eyes.

Chop up your celery and carrots, roll your pie crust and cook your veggies and mixture.

Place crust in dishes. Make the piggy ears and noses. Put the chicken mixture in bottom pie crusts.

Piggy Pot Pies

We made these cute little piggy pot pies and wanted to them! This is such a fun way to get the kids to eat their veggies!
Servings: 4
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total: 50 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken cubed (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen green peas (8 set aside for decorating)
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed
  • 1 can chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg white beaten
  • 3 unbaked pie crusts 9"

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
  • Chop up your celery and carrots. Put your chopped veggies, peas, and diced chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Roll out your pie crust.
  • Use 4 (6oz) souffle dishes. Place the souffle dish on the crust and cut a circle with a inch or so beyond the dish. Place the bottom crust in the dish and press on the bottom and sides. There should be some of it sticking out around the top.
  • Roll out another pie crust to cut out ear shapes. We wanted our ears to curl so we took some pieces of aluminum foil and shaped it into small balls to lay our ears on. This made them shaped with a curve while baking as you can see in the picture. Cut out your pig noses. We used a glass that we measured on top of the dish. Put 2 holes in the noses and baked the noses and ears separately then set aside.
  • In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and mix into the veggie mixture. Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crusts.
  • Beat a egg white and brush the top edges of the souffle dish. This is to help the crust stick. Cover with the top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Press down on the sides a bit to prevent any of the mixture from coming out. We made 4 holes in the top where the eyes would go and the nose to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with the egg wash.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Use the hot mixture from the holes that were made on top as a glue to put on the ears. Put on the noses the same way and 2 left over peas for the eyes.

    Oh I want to eat at your house, and I am supposed to be the cook in the family.

    Love these, pot pies have always been one of my favorites and now that they look like little piggies well that makes me giddy.

    Funny I ran across this post because I just made chicken-pot pie last night (although it was WAY too hot here in NM to be cooking something like that)!

    These are adorable, I will have to remember your tutorial for next time!

    By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog!

    Awww these are so cute – too bad my boys are all grown up – guess the idea will have to wait for the grandkiddies! Thanks for sharing.
