Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup chicken broth (or water)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
For the Crust:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie dough)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, milk, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and thyme.
- Stir in shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables until well combined.
Assemble the Pie:
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour the chicken filling evenly into the pie crust.
- Cover with the second pie crust, crimp the edges, and cut small slits in the top for ventilation.
- Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the Pot Pie:
- Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch spills) and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make It From Scratch: Swap the cream of chicken soup with 1 cup homemade white sauce (butter, flour, milk, and broth).
- Vegetarian Option: Use cream of mushroom soup and replace chicken with diced potatoes or mushrooms.
- Extra Flavor: Add ½ teaspoon paprika or a dash of hot sauce for a little kick.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
- Crust Alternatives: Use crescent roll dough, biscuit dough, or puff pastry for different textures.
