🔪How To Make Air Fryer Pot Pies
- Step 1: Mix the chicken, veggies, cream of chicken, and the spices together in a large bowl. Make sure chicken and veggies are fully coated. Set aside. Open the can of biscuits and set them out separately.
- Step 2: Spray 6 jumbo silicone muffin liners lightly with oil. Pinch off ¼ of the dough from 6 biscuits. Set aside pinches of dough. Mold the ¾ size biscuits to the inside of the muffin liners. Cook in the air fryer at 300°F for 5 minutes.
- Step 3: Remove and spoon in filling. You want to fill half way pressing down to continue forming the crust into a cup. Fill up the cup with a little mound of filling. Repeat this for the remaining 5 pies.
- Step 4: Use the remaining biscuits and pinches of dough and place a thin layer of dough over the pies to seal them. Using your fingers, pinch the pie tips to the sides of the pie cups along the rim of the liner. Make 4 little punctures in the top of the pies to allow for venting.
- Step 5: Continue to cook the pies at 300° for 20 minutes or until the crust is fully cooked. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket and the closeness of the heating element, you may find that you'll need to rotate the pot pie in air fryer while cooking. You don’t want to burn the tops.
- Step 6: If the top finishes while the cups still need cooking, wrap the pies in a layer of foil to protect the tops. Once finished, allow the pot pies to cool before serving.
💡 Hint: To achieve a perfectly crisp homemade pie crust, brush the pastry with a light egg wash before air frying to promote browning and texture.
