- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, stirring continuously to create a roux.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

- Cook the mixture for a few minutes until it thickens, then remove it from the heat.
- Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into each prepared pie crust in the muffin tin.
- Cover the filling with a small circle of pie crust, sealing the edges with your fingers or a fork.
- Bake the mini potpies in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
