I can't wait to try this recipe again with different fillings. I think it would be great with beef or turkey.

These pot pies are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I made these pot pies in my air fryer, and they turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

I'm not a huge fan of marjoram, so I substituted thyme instead. It was still delicious!

The crust was too thick for my taste. I would recommend using a thinner crust next time.

I thought the filling was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

These mini chicken pot pies were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and creamy, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I added a bit of extra marjoram, and it really made the dish pop.
