Easy Chicken Pot Pie


 
 
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 ½ cups frozen mixed veggies
  • 1 cooked potato cubed
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts (usually comes in one package)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken or Turkey
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper

 

Preheat oven to 375˚ degrees. Defrost the veggies. Coat 9" pie pan with butter flavored cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pie pan with the one of the pie crusts.  In a large bowl, stir together the soup and milk. Add the remaining ingredients. Spoon mixture into pan  Top with the other pie crust. Pinch the edges together and cut vents in the top. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes until golden brown on top.

 NOTE: I didn't have a potato cooked so I just microwaved one and it tasted great! Also I've used canned chicken before and tasted great also...so this recipe can be even easier than it all ready is!

FOR FUTURE: you can double the recipe, and freeze the unbaked pie in the freezer for future baking.  After freezing, thaw it out for a time before baking.
