- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Prepare the Pie Crusts
- Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface.

- Press each dough circle into the muffin cups, ensuring the dough comes up the sides to form a cup.
- Fill the Muffin Cups
- Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into each dough-lined muffin cup, filling them generously.
- Top with Pie Crust
- Cut out smaller circles or shapes from the remaining dough to place on top of each filled muffin cup, or create a lattice pattern with strips of dough.

- Bake
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
