Can Chicken & Broccoli Pastry Cups Be Made in a Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan?

I am looking for the Chicken & Broccoli Pastry Cups recipe that was featured in the Spring/Summer 2002 Season's Best. Could someone please post it for me? My host for Thursday wants me to make it at her show.

Thank you so much for posting this Janet!

Has anyone ever made these in the Deluxe mini-muffin pan? I do not have the stoneware muffin pan. I wonder if I can make them small, and just reduce the cooking time.
