No cookie cutter? You can use the open part of a cup or empty can.  We sprayed the bottom of the pan with olive oil because we weren’t using a non-stick pan.

Can I use Pillsbury crescent rolls to save time? Would I need one tube (serves 8) or two? Assuming I could just crack the tubes open and lay the dough out flat and use a cookie cutter?

Yes! This is a great make-ahead dish. You can assemble the chicken pot pies, freeze in muffin pans, then transfer frozen pies to a resealable freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, simply place the pot pies in muffin pans and bake. Frozen pot pies require a bit more time to bake. Another option is to bake the pot pies in advance then store in the fridge or freezer until needed and simply reheat .
