Chicken Pot Pie Cups

I have been trying to be better about cooking real meals and not just throwing hamburger helper on the stove

A few nights ago I made chicken pot pie cups [a big hit with the family]

What you need
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits 


What do do
1 Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, combine vegetables, chicken and soup; mix well. 


2 Press each biscuit into 5 1/2-inch round. Place 1 round in each of 8 greased regular-size muffin cups. Firmly press in bottom and up side, forming 3/4-inch rim. 


3 Spoon a generous 1/4 cup chicken mixture into each. Pull edges of dough over filling toward center; pleat and pinch dough gently to hold in place. 


4 Bake at 375°F 20 to 22 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from pan.
[I decided last minuet to put some cheese on top, its totally optional and just put it on 3-5 mins before they are done]


Princess #2 clearly enjoyed them haha
