Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes

Believe it or not, I have never made a chicken pot pie.  In fact, I haven't eaten one since I was a kid.  But when I saw this chicken pot pie cupcake recipe, I had to try it.  My kids love anything that resembles a cupcake, even when there are peas and carrots tucked inside.  I love the portion control that this recipe provides, and the added seasonings make these mini pot pies full of delicious flavor.  This one gets two thumbs up from my entire family every time I make it.
