🐔 Easy Peasy Chicken Pot Pie
🥣 Ingredients
For 4–6 servings
-
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works perfectly!)
-
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom, if you prefer)
-
½ cup chicken broth or milk (for creamier filling)
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
Salt & black pepper to taste
-
1 sheet puff pastry or 1 refrigerated pie crust
-
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
🧑🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat the oven:
-
400°F (200°C).
-
-
Make the filling:
-
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, broth (or milk), and seasonings.
-
Stir until evenly mixed and creamy.
-
-
Assemble:
-
Pour the filling into a greased 9-inch pie dish, casserole dish, or oven-safe skillet.
-
Top with the puff pastry (or pie crust), pressing the edges to seal.
-
Cut a few small slits in the top for steam to escape.
-
Brush with egg wash if you want a golden, glossy crust.
-
-
Bake:
-
Bake 25–30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
-
-
Cool slightly and serve:
-
Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving so the filling thickens a bit.
-
🍴 Tips & Variations
-
Extra creamy? Add a few tablespoons of cream cheese or a splash of heavy cream to the filling.
-
No crust fuss? Pour the filling into a casserole dish and top with canned biscuit dough instead — instant “biscuit pot pie”!
-
Veggie boost: Add sautéed mushrooms or onions for extra flavor.
-
Make-ahead: Assemble, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
🧡 Shortcut hack:
Use rotisserie chicken + frozen veggies + store-bought crust = pot pie ready in under an hour (and tastes like you made it from scratch).
Would you like me to give you a mini version (like muffin-tin or hand-held chicken pot pies)? Those are perfect for snacks, lunches, or meal prep!
