Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Once the sauce thickens, remove it from heat and fold in the cooked chicken and mixed vegetables until well combined.
  5. Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into circles fitting your muffin tin.
  6. Place the crusts into the greased muffin tin. Spoon the chicken filling into each crust, and cover with additional crusts, sealing them well. Cut small slits in the top for ventilation.
  7. Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown.
  9. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. Frozen pies can be stored before baking for up to 3 months; add an extra 10-15 minutes to baking time when ready to serve.
