Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the oven is at the right temperature when you're ready to bake.
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, stirring to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Carefully unroll the pre-made pie crust and gently place it into the prepared pie dish, pressing it down to line the bottom and sides of the dish.
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent filling.
- If using a single crust, fold the edges of the crust over slightly to create a rustic look. For a top crust, place a second pie crust over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Slice and serve hot, enjoying the creamy, comforting flavors of this easy pot pie.
Tips
- • For extra flavor, try using rotisserie chicken instead of plain cooked chicken - it adds a deeper, more robust taste to your pot pie. • Make sure to let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes after baking. This allows the filling to set and makes cutting and serving much easier. • Want a golden, crispy crust? Brush the top of the pie crust with an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water) before baking to achieve that beautiful golden-brown color. • Feel free to customize your vegetables! While frozen mixed vegetables work great, you can also use fresh vegetables or swap in your family's favorites. • If you're short on time, this recipe is perfect for making ahead. You can prepare the filling and assemble the pie earlier in the day and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. • For a lighter version, you can use low-fat cream of chicken soup and milk to reduce the calorie content.
