I made individual chicken pot pies intending to eat a single serving. However, after one taste of the delicious crumble topping, I couldn’t resist having seconds. You can make these using a muffin pan, as I did, or cupcake-size pot pies for appetizers. Enjoy!

These would be fun for dinner or make a great party appetizer. It's everything you love about chicken pot pie but in bite-sized form. So yummy! When spreading the crust, make sure you spread it as thin as possible. If it's too thick it will taste a bit doughy.
