Mini Chicken and Broccoli Pies

This recipe was quick, delicious, and healthy. I altered it quite a bit to my liking and health preferences. You can do the same if you want. I used fresh broccoli instead of frozen; tofu in place of chicken; dairy free milk; and gluten free Bisquick. And because tofu has very little flavor on it's own, i sauteed it in a blend of spices before adding it to the mixture. 

Mini Chicken and Broccoli Pies

Chicken-Broccoli Mixture 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

1 cup Green Giant® frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Baking Mixture

1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix

1/2 cup milk

2 eggs 

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. 
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Add onion; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add broccoli, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until mixture is heated through. Cool 5 minutes; stir in cheese.
• In medium bowl, stir baking mixture ingredients with whisk or fork until blended. Spoon 1 scant tablespoon baking mixture into each muffin cup. Top with about 1/4 cup chicken-broccoli mixture. Spoon 1 tablespoon baking mixture onto chicken-broccoli mixture in each muffin cup.
• Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and tops are golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. With thin knife, loosen sides of pies from pan; remove from pan and place top sides up on cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes longer, and serve.
