pint-sized chicken pies

ready? set... eat!

2 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped
1 cup canned veggies (pick the ones your little tykes will eat... I used peas, carrots and potatoes)
1 tube refrigerated biscuits, reduced fat
1 can of chicken gravy
french onions

Take a long rectangle of wax paper. Fold it in half and stick one biscuit in the center between the paper. Roll out to a thin circle. Place in a custard cup or jumbo muffin pan. Do this til you fill up your dish.

Mix up your cooked chicken, veggies and gravy. Scoop out about 2/3 cup of filling into each biscuit shell. Bake 'em for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Sprinkle french fried onions on top, bake for about 2 minutes more.
