EASY CHICKEN POT PIE

Charhug — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 02:46:39 GMT

3 Chicken breasts cooked and cubed

1 can of mixed vegetables such as Veg-all (15 ounce) drained

1 can of Cream of Chicken soup ( 10 3/4 ounce)

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base

2 pie crusts (one box)

Mix soup, milk and Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base.

Add the drained Vegetables and chicken. Stir.

Put mixture into a deep dish pie pan ( Temp-tations) lined with an unbaked pie crust.

Cover with other pie crust. Make sure you make some slits in top crust for steam to escape.

Cover edges of pie crust with foil and bake for 40 minutes at 425 degrees.

This is so easy and tasty. I have used leftover chicken from a Rotisserie Chicken instead of cooking chicken breasts. I have also found out that this works best with bought pie crust, such as Pillsbury's.

Looks really good.

I'm a fan of using boullion cubes, I like poached chicken breasts & that's all the flavor I use.

I love this & make a similar pot pie. I use individual cans of vegetables, so I can choose what we want. My husband hates peas! And, I buy Marie Callander Pie Crusts, because I think that they are the best. They are already pie shaped (in the freezer section) so I lay one out of the pan on a piece of waxed paper until it softens & starts to loose shape. Then I lay it on the vegetables. Not as pretty, but I do prefer the MC crust.

I've done it using leftover barbecue sauced chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. It was so good using that chicken.

It sounds good your way, too.

I've done a variation of something like the original recipe.

I also used frozen mixed veggies, and used jarred chicken gravy, instead of the canned soup and milk.

I also used two refrigerated pie crusts, along with some chicken.

I used a deep dish glass pie plate to bake it in, because it makes a large family-sized pie, once all of the ingredients are added in.

Thx for sharing. I always use frozen veggies. Maybe I will give Veg-All a try. Now I'm hungry. I have been hungry for chicken pot pie for some reason. Have not ate any in a long time. I added everything I need to my grocery list.

Hi @Toppers, what brand of jarred chicken gravy do you use? I would love to take a run at this recipe when the weather cools off . . .

@Nightowlz

I use frozen mixed vegies in this & similar recipes also. I find the canned vegies just get too done. But that is just my personal preference.

Hi @momtochloe,

I bought the Aldi's brand of jarred chicken gravy when I made it, but you can use the Heinz brand if you have tried their brand and like theirs. I like their particular brand, too.

I like the seasonings that they put in their gravy. We think that it tastes nice, without being too seasoned or too salty.

I also used Aldi's packaged refrigerated pie crusts, too.

For the veggies, I just got the mixed Country Blend without the Lima beans in there-the kind that comes with the corn, peas, beans, and carrots in there, that most markets carry some version of.

If I recall, Aldi's brand of jarred gravy might be seasonal around the holidays. I don't know if they always have it available.

When we shop at Aldi's, I try to get whatever I can there, because I think that their prices just happen to be the best around.

If my DH goes without me, I make out a shopping list for him to get as much as he can while there.

I'll have to find the recipe, and then I'll post it for everyone. It's really easy.

I think that it calls for canned chicken in water in the original recipe, but you can substitute pre-cooked chicken in it if you'd rather do that.

I tried making it with the canned chicken, and it turned out really good.

Hi @momtochloe,

I posted the pot pie recipe here in the Recipe Forum for you and for anyone else who would like to see it.

It's from Campbell's Kitchen. It's a Swanson's Recipe because it calls for their Swanson's canned chicken in the recipe.

They have all different kinds of pot pie recipe variations if you take a look at Campbell's website.

In fact, I'm sure you could probably eat pot pie to your heart's content, looking over there. At least, I know that I could, because we love pot pie over here! LOL!!
