Mini Chicken Pies
Mini chicken pies are tender boneless chicken thighs in a creamy sauce of milk, butter and chicken stock paste, all wrapped in golden pastry. The Thermomix chops the onions, cooks the filling and blends the sauce evenly, giving you a silky consistency every time. Ideal as a party snack or a family main course.
About this recipe
Mini chicken pies made in the Thermomix TM7 are the kind of recipe that turns a simple list of ingredients into something guests remember. Boneless chicken thighs are gently cooked with onions, chicken stock paste and whole milk, then bound with salted butter and all purpose flour into a creamy filling, finished with fresh parsley and a good grind of pepper. Searching for an easy party food recipe or a quick weeknight dinner idea? These little pies deliver both. The all-in-one kitchen machine chops the onions finely, blends the sauce until silky and heats everything at a controlled temperature, so the filling never splits or catches on the bottom of the bowl. Serve them warm at a birthday table, tuck them into lunchboxes or offer them as a starter at a festive dinner. Because the filling is fully cooked before baking, the pastry turns golden while the interior stays moist and full of flavour.
Preparation tips
- Let the chicken filling cool completely before filling the pastry cases; a warm filling melts the butter in the dough and causes soggy bottoms. Spread it on a plate and chill while you roll out the pastry.
- Make a double batch of the chicken and parsley filling and freeze half in portions. On a busy day, simply defrost, fill fresh pastry and bake for mini pies that taste freshly made.
- For extra depth, brown the chicken thighs in a frying pan before adding them to the Thermomix bowl. Children love these as finger food, so cut the pies smaller for parties.
- Browning - Sear the chicken thighs in the TM7 bowl first so the filling gains a deeper, roasted flavour. [Browning]
Recipe variations
- Make a lactose-free version by replacing the whole milk and salted butter with plant-based alternatives such as oat milk and margarine. The sauce stays silky and the parsley chicken filling tastes just as rich.
- For a festive twist, add crispy bacon lardons and a spoonful of wholegrain mustard to the chicken filling, or swap the parsley for tarragon at Christmas time for a classic holiday flavour.
