Hi Bold Bakers!

When it comes to Mug Meals I have made everything from Microwave Mug Pizza to Mac & Cheese in a Mug  and overtime I say to myself, “What next?” Sometimes I am flat out of ideas. And then in the eleventh hour it hits me: Microwave Chicken Pie in a Mug! Did you know you can make a delicious Chicken Pie with a buttery Biscuit crust from scratch in the microwave? Keep reading….

Usually a Chicken Pie requires a lot of steps but this little gem is very straight forward and just needs a handful of ingredients. Rather than using leftover cooked chicken for cold sandwiches, use it to make this Chicken Pie. Mix it up with chicken stock, frozen vegetables and a little milk for a creamy sauce and you have yourself a base for a Chicken Pie.

So a pie is not a pie without a pastry or biscuit topping correct? Do you see that lovely soft topping on my pie? Well that is none other than my Cheese & Herb Biscuit in a Mug recipe. As it cooked in the microwave it rises up and you get a lovely soft biscuit as a crust.

There’s no reason why you can’t have something good for you that is homemade just because you might not have the time or an oven. Mug Meals are the solution to that problem.

Use leftovers to make my Microwave Chicken Pie in a Mug in minutes featuring a creamy chicken filling and a warm, doughy biscuit topping.
Author: Gemma Stafford
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 3-4 tablespoons cooked chicken
  • 2 tablespoons frozen vegetables (peas and carrots)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornflour (cornstarch)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon full fat milk or cream
  • For the Biscuit topping
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon (1/4 oz/ 9g) butter, cubed
  • tablespoons milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped herbs

Instructions

  • In a large microwavable mug add in the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Stir well together to mix in the cornstarch. The cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce.
  • Pour in the stock and milk and stir well until everything is combined. Set aside.
  • For the biscuit topping: Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Using a fork rub in the cubed butter into the dry ingredients. When done it will resemble fine breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the milk and herbs until your mix forms a batter. (I decided to leave out the cheese for the pie topping).
  • Gently scoop the batter on top of the chicken pie mix. It might sink a little, don’t worry that is fine. During cooking it will rise up.
  • Microwave for roughly 2 minutes- 2 minutes 15 seconds. It is ready when the biscuit batter is firm on top and you don’t see any wet batter. (This timing is based on my 1200W microwave so yours might vary)
  • Enjoy warm!

Recipe Notes

You can mix this mug cake up the night before and cook it off in the microwave
The chicken stock will give your pie a lot of flavor. Use stock over broth as broth is weaker in flavor.

I am 81 years old and live by myself. I am so happy to have found these wonderful meals in a mug. It means I can throw together a complete meal in minutes. Thank you!

Gemma,
Thanks for all of your yummy recipes, I’ve throughly enjoyed them.

My family is wondering if I could triple your chicken pie recipe in a regular dish and cook in oven? Would it turn out the same?

Sincerely,
Tina

Hi Gemma,

Are there any substitutes for the chicken stock?

And for the cream, can I use 2% milk instead?

Also, what do you mean by chopped herbs?

Thanks, Tiffany

I am trying all of your mug meals as I need only one serving. I love that there is no waste, and I am restricted as to how much I eat! So far all have turned out really well and are way better than fast food. The best idea to come along in a while!

Trying to work out for your banana bread in a mug. In my recipe from yoiur website you use 3tbsp almond meal or almond flour. Can you advise as to how much to use of normal self raiing flour?
Recipe says: 1 egg
1 banana crushed
3 tbsp almond flour (how to sustitute with normal self rasing flour?)
1 tbsp choc chip

Does the chicken stock have to be hot or cold I didn’t see the chicken stock hot in the video,also if I use a bigger coffee mug size would I need to increase the time based on my microwave 800 watts time which is 3minutes 45 seconds thanks

What a comedy of errors 🤣 😂 😂! My fault and not giving up. Even turning out like sticks covered with dough, it still had a good flavor. I know what I did wrong, so I can’t wait to do it correctly next time!
