Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pie
You know that feeling you get when you’re coming down with something really vile? Yeah, I’ve got that feeling. Swell. Why can’t people just keep their germs to themselves???
Anyhoo…
Sometimes, when I post a recipe like this I think to myself, “This contains condensed soup! Refrigerated pie crusts! Frozen vegetables! I can’t admit I actually MAKE this!”
Then Beloved has four helpings
(Perversely, when I make something like handmade strudel I’m worried everyone is going to think I’m bragging if I post the recipe. But, you know, Beloved certainly didn’t eat four helpings of the strudel; go figure).
Actually, I promised this after Thanksgiving when I posted a similar recipe (Enchilada Casserole) as a good use for leftover turkey, which it is. But, naturally, it’s good with leftover chicken, and since I roasted a Sunday evening for dinner I had some and this is what I made Wednesday night. It is quick, easy and apparently darn tasty – after having four helpings of it for dinner, Beloved polished it off for lunch yesterday.
Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pie
serves 6
1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts; the kind that are folded or rolled), at room temperature
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 medium potato, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
Milk
2 tablespoons dehydrated onion flakes
Salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
Place a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 425° F.
Place the potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with cold water; bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 3 – 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, mixed vegetables, soup, onion flakes and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder (go easy on the salt; there’s a lot in the soup). Stir to combine, adding the milk a little at a time – about 1/2 to 2/3 of a cup – until the soup is a smooth consistency. Stir in the cooled potatoes; set aside.
Unroll the crusts; dust one with flour and line a 9″ pie plate with it, flour side down to keep it from sticking to the pie plate. Trim the crust about 1/2″ larger than the rim of the pie plate. Pour the chicken/soup mixture into the crust, spreading it with a spoon so it fills the crust evenly. Place the second crust over the top of the mixture; trim it evenly with the bottom crust. Tuck the crust under around the edge of the pie plate and crimp with your fingers or the tines of a fork, and cut a slit in the top crust to vent the steam.
Bake the pie for 40 – 45 minutes; cover the edge of the crust with foil if it’s browning too quickly. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
And y’all have a lovely weekend.

Ever do Currys Jan? Bet you’d make a wicked one.
rubbish´s last blog ..Wrong place, wrong time, story of my life.
There is an egregious error in your recipe. It says it serves 6 – no way.
Hey, sometimes a “quickie” is really good!
Jane Gaston´s last blog ..Of importance and of no importance…
Thanks for breaking the seal on the condensed soup. I have a ton of great recipes that call for condensed soup. Now, I can post guilt free.

Hey this sounds easy enough for even me to make!
I love chicken pot pie!

Nothing wrong with Campbell’s soup. Or store-bought crust. Or frozen veg. Nothing wrong at all. Good is good, people. Good is good.

This does sound good and something my husband would like but after being up with 2 sick kids all night with stomach flu it’s hard for me to think about food…:)…have a great weekend Jan and hope you feel better! XX

Pseudo´s last blog ..Oahu’s Waimea Bay
While I wouldn’t eat this (am meat-free)… I know that my child would love me a whole heck of a lot if I made this for him, and I think it is easy enough for me to handle…
Thanks for posting.

This is exactly what my diet doesn’t need, but my cheat day does. Yum!

PB will be so happy! Pot pies are one of his favorites, but they are so much work! This will be great!
Or you can use Bisquick to drop biscuits down as the topping….:)

I love chicken pot pie. I’ve never attempted to make one. I guess I will have to now. There goes another 5 lbs.
Smart Mouth Broad´s last blog ..A LOVE LETTER TO MHS
OK, 2 things:
1. “1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup”
Oh for the love of all that is holy, can I use cream of chicken soup instead? I really really really don’t like cream of mushroom soup. I mean, really.
2. How does serving the pie work? I mean I’m imagining you cut into the pie, try to get one slice, but it’s so gloppy, it doesn’t really “stay” in a piece that’s easy to cut and place on a plate or something. Is it more of a spooning into a bowl kind of thing?
Margaret (Nanny Goats)´s last blog ..Great Interview Experiment: A Free Man
I made chicken pot pie the other night but there was a twist on it….instead of potatoes I used sliced hard boiled eggs….it was delish! Also used cream of chicken since I had the eggs…but get this, I made the crust from scratch. Aren’t you impressed? I live to impress you.
The Stiletto Mom´s last blog ..And Now The List Of Things I Don’t Want For Christmas
As long as it is enjoyed, that’s what counts. And it is easy to make, which makes it a winner for me!
If that is a picture of your pot pie, I’m jealous. I never get the crust edges to turn out nice. I suck at fluting the edges.

Now this is a chicken pot pie recipe I can wrap my mind around and accomplish successfully.
Sorry you’re feeling like you’re coming down with something really vile – it’s Princess Nagger’s fault because I’m feeling the same way and she’s been spiking a fever off and on for the past couple of days. With snot. The little snot.
