Anyone have a good, easy chicken pot pie recipe?  I love peas and carrots and maybe little white onions....and a fast easy crust for it....thanks in advance..

I read recipes on Google and some suggest - buy a ready cooked chicken at the grocery store - buy   pie crust in the freezer section - pick up a few cans of cream of chicken/broth - chop/cook some carrots - peas or whatever you want in it along with salt/pepper/garlic.  Assemble in to a small pie plate and bake.  Tra-la   Easy chicken pie!

Agree, except I buy the 2-crust pie crusts in the refrigerated section (Pillsbury) in the grocery store.

Sorry, that wasn't really a recipe....here's what I do for chicken pot pie:

1 double Pillsbury pie crust

1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded or cubed chicken (from cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup frozen peas (thawed)

1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh sliced carrots (microwave for 3 or 4 minutes until soft)

1/4 cup sliced celery

1/4 cup diced onion

Seasoned salt, pepper

Pre-bake bottom crust according to package instructions

Microwave carrots

Mix together the soup and chicken broth

Add the chicken and vegetables to bottom crust and add seasoning

Pour soup mixture over chicken and vegetables

Add top crust and make a few slits with knife to vent

Bake according to crust instructions for a double pie

Preparation of my favorite chicken pot pie involves getting in the car, driving up to KFC and saying, "I'd like a chicken pot pie please".  They are so good and just stuffed with chicken. I get a side of coleslaw to count as a veggie.

Ina Garten’s recpie is very very good and easy. But I do use store bought crust and it comes out great.  It is a huge hit at our home and friends always ask me to make for them especially during the fall and winter.  Go to food network website and find recipe.

turkey or chicken to make it.

      3    TABLESPOONS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR

1-1/2    CUP MILK

            GET AT SAM'S CLUB }  jUST ADDS MOR FLAVOR.

       1   { 16 OZ } PACKAGE FROZEN MIXED VEGETABLES,

            THAWED AND DRAINED  { i PRECOOK THESE

            VEGETABLES IN WATER AND ADD SOME CHICKEN

            BOUILLION FOR MORE FLAVOR }

is thickened and bubbly.  Stir in turkey or chicken & next 3

ingredients; cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated.  Spoon

into a 9 inch quiche dish or pie plate.  Unroll crescent rolls & place

rectangular pieces side by side on a lightly floured surface, I then

cut the crescent rolls in strips and lay them criscross on top of the

pot pie like a lattice.  Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until golden

brown.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

@SCHULTZI  Your recipe sounds so good, I'm going to have to try it in the near future..

This is my simple recipe.  

3 T butter
2 T chopped shallots
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
8 oz chopped mushrooms

1/4 cup flour
1-1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup half and half

Splash of white wine
1 T chopped fresh tarragon
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
salt and pepper to taste
1 refrigerated pie crust
1 large egg mixed with water for glaze

Heat oven to 375.

In a large skillet melt butter over med-high heat.  Add shallots, carrots and celery and saute until soft.  Add mushrooms and saute for a couple of minutes.  Stir in flour well and saute for about a minute or so to get the flour taste out.  Slowing stir in the stock and bring to a simmer.  Simmer until thickened slightly.  Add wine and half and half.  Stir in chicken and heat through.  S & P to taste.  Cool a little if possible. 

Pour into prepared pie crust.  Brush the edges with egg mixture and put top crust on.  Cut a few slits in top crust.  Place on baking sheet.  Bake until crust is golden brown - about 30 minutes.

This makes one large pie.  I like to make individual pies to serve.  You will need extra pie crust to do this.
