These petite pies with their hash brown crusts are so pretty that I like to serve them for special luncheons. Chock-full of meat and vegetables in a creamy sauce, they're a meal-in-one...and a great way to use up left-over chicken or turkey. —Helen Lamison Carnegie, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 4-1/2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Directions
