Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 can (15 oz) mixed vegetables, drained (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (usually contains 2 crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Equipment
- 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork (for egg wash)
- Can opener
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Brush for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a crisp, golden crust once your pot pie is ready to bake.
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, drained mixed vegetables, condensed cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir until everything is well incorporated. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the pot pie: Unroll one pie crust and place it in your 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
- Pour the filling into the crust-lined dish. Spread evenly but avoid overfilling to prevent spills during baking.
- Cover with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough and pinch the edges together to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg. This step gives your pot pie a beautiful, shiny golden finish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on the crust and bake until it’s golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the filling set slightly for clean servings.
Tips & Variations
“For an even quicker meal, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Swap the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom or cream of celery for a flavor twist.”
If you prefer a homemade touch, you can make your own pie crust or puff pastry, but the refrigerated dough saves a lot of time. Feel free to add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pie crusts and soup alternatives.
Vegetable-wise, try adding mushrooms, spinach, or diced potatoes to enhance the filling. For a lighter version, replace the cream of chicken soup with a homemade white sauce made from flour, butter, and milk.
