Chicken Pot Pie

Y'ALL. This stuff is crazy good. It was my first time making chicken pot pie and it turned out perfectly. It was ridiculously easy to make. I made two individual pot pies and they turned out super cute :) The recipe could easily be doubled if you want extras or need to feed more people. I'll definitely be making it several more times during these cold months! I found the recipe via Pinterest (love) and the original post was from culinary.net


Makes 2 large servings (or 4 small servings if you use a pie plate).
Total prep and cook time: 30 minutes


Items you'll need:

  • 1 c of cooked chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 can of cream of chicken soup
  • 9 oz of frozen mixed veggies, thawed
  • 1/2 c milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c all purpose baking mix (I used Bisquick)
  • medium size mixing bowl
  • 2 small oven proof bowls (2 cup capacity) OR 1 pie plate
  • cooking spray or vegetable oil
  • small mixing bowl
  • baking pan

Feel free to skip past the picture demonstration to get straight to the listed directions.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease two oven proof bowls OR one pie plate. Set aside. I used two oven proof bowls with a 2 cup capacity because I wanted to make individual chicken pot pies. 

Now for the cooked chicken, you have a variety of options. You could bake your own, which is what I did. If you'd like to do that, bake one chicken breast @375 degrees for 28 minutes. Afterwards, cut the chicken into cubes and reserve 1 cup for your chicken pot pie. Another option is to boil a chicken breast until it is fork tender and no longer pink throughout. You could also use rotisserie chicken, canned chicken, or some left over chicken you may have. 

 

To thaw my frozen veggies, I ran hot water over them in a colander until they were no longer icy. Just buy veggies that you think will taste good in chicken pot pie. Mine had peas, green beans, corn, and diced carrots.

Mix the cubed chicken, thawed veggies, and cream of chicken soup in a medium mixing bowl. 



















Divide the mixture between the two bowls, OR pour the entire chicken mixture into a pie plate, if using. Set aside.



In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and all purpose baking mix. Pour over the chicken mixture in your bowls or pie plate. You can fill it right up to the rim and it shouldn't overflow when baking.



Bake for 25 minutes or until crust is golden.


The baking mix that was poured on top of the chicken mixture turns into a nice biscuity crust after baking.

It's awesome.


You should make this. 


The deliciousness will blow your mind.
