Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Anyone have a good recipe for Chicken Pot Pie using pie crusts? Thanks in advance!

 

[eeyorefan74]

I've done one with the piecrusts, cooked chicken (can use rotisserie from the grocery store), a can of Veg-All, and a can of cream of chicken soup, plus some chopped onions. Cook according to the two crust pie directions on the piecrust box. Can't get much easier than that and it's good!

I just throw one together. I use leftover chicken. I add a can of chicken gravy (or 2 depending on how big a pie you make). Then I parboil some carrots and celery and potatoes. Drain them and put them in. I also add a can of corn (drained) and a can of peas (drained). You can add half a can of each if you don't want so much or use the small cans. I like a crust on the top AND bottom. I layer a round casserole with one crust. Then pour in all the things mentioned above. Then put another crust on top. Crimp the edges of the crust and put in vent holes with a knife. I bake until golden brown.

I LOVE potpie. This is what I usually make the day after we have a roast chicken.

i have THE BEST recipe for Chicken pot pie-- it turns out absolutely delicious everytime and I normally make it when we have a little bit of company and ALWAYS get TONS of great compliments..

I absolutely guarantee you will LOVE it!

3 cups cooked chicken, in chunks
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cans Veg-all
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 1/2 (1.5)tsp flour
1 tsp butter
1 cup chicken broth
pillsbury pie crust (2-pack frozen/deep dish)

Sit out pie crust to thaw a little. Saute' butter, onion, and celery in saucepan until tender. Add flour and broth. Mix well. Stir in soup and make medium sauce. Drain veg-all; add to sauce. Add chicken chunks. Stir well. Seperate the two pie crusts from package. Pour mixture into one deep dish pillsbury pie crust. Pull the top of the pie crust from the pan and place over the bottom crust, pushing the outer edges down (if you cant pull it off I recommend turning over the pie crust on top of the pie and let it sit there. The heat from the heated mixture will help you pull the sides off of the pan).
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until brown.

GREAT recipe-- would love to hear feedback once its made!

Hope I'm not too late.... This site has an awesome recipe..... we just love it. Great thing about it, is that the filling freezes well and you can just pull out of the freezer when you get a hankerin for Pot Pie... If this link doesn't work, you may need to copy and past into address box.

I kind of combined 2 recipes.
I take chopped chicken
a bag of frozen veggies(I use cascadia farms organic corn/peas/carrots
I make a ruex- I spelled that wrong. But just 2 tbsp. butter and flour- cook it off then throw in a box of chicken stock. stir it up- let it thicken a little (that's your sauce)
Add white wine to the sauce!
I saute some mushrooms in butter garlic and oyster sauce
add some precooked chopped baby reds
throw it all in a pie plate- everything and then top it with a ready made pie crust.
YUMMY!!
The bolded parts are the keys I think make it flavorful.

2 1/2-3 c. shredded cooked chicken or turkey
2 c. frozen mixed veggies, thawed


1. Heat oven to 425. Prepare pie crusts as directed on pkg for 2-crust pie using 9" pan.
2. Melt margarine in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes or until tender. Add flour, salt and pepper; stir until well blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened.
3. Add chicken and veggies, mix well. Remove from heat. Spoon chikcen mixture into crust-lined pan. Top w/ second crust; seal edges and flute. Cut slits in several places in top crust.

I couldn't decide what to make for dinner and I didn't want to go into town for additional groceries so I printed this one out and thought I would improvise.

I pulled the crust out of the freezer and let it thaw, sauted the butter, celery, & onion. Boiled water in a pan and made 1 cup of garlic chicken broth. I added the flour and it balled up and would not mix into the hot broth. So, I strained it and poured the hot broth into the butter/veggie mix. I threw about a teaspoon of corn starch in, stirring it while it boiled. The mix immediately started to thicken. I only had a can of fat-free cream of chicken soup but I put that into a pan and warmed it up. Once it got warm, I added the butter/veggie/broth mix into it and stirred it up. I pulled a 16-oz. bag of frozen mixed veggies out of the freezer and added the entire package to a little water on the stove, just cooking enough to get rid of ice crystals or thaw a little.....I didn't want to make the filling runny with additional water....and then drained and added the veggies to the pan of chicken soup/filling.

I opened 4 cans of canned chicken breast (5 oz each) and drained and flaked the meat, adding it to the pan of hot filling. I spread out one crust and put it in the bottom of a pie plate, added the hot filling, and covered with the other crust, crimping the sides together and poking holes in the top with a fork. I baked it for about 40 mins. and it came out perfect! I let it sit for about 5 minutes and served it with a salad.

DH and both DSs loved it! As a matter of fact, there was only enough left over for youngest DS to put into a container for lunch at school tomorrow. Thanks!

I am looking forward to trying all the other recipes listed....I love chicken pot pie!!

[VogelFamily]

Absolutely the easiest, best tasting pot pie ever. I serve it a lot with company, everyone always loves it........heather

We are going to be having this either Thursday or Friday night..thanks for the recipes...they all sound yummy!

Does anyone bake the bottom crust a little so it doesn't get soggy? Or just throw the ingredients into the pie shell and bake?

I throw my ingredients in and bake it pie shell on bottom and pie shell on top-- its never soggy and always hard and crispy once i get it out of the oven!

 

[VogelFamily]

I have never pre-baked this and get perfect crusts every time. I use the Pampered Chef, deep dish stoneware baker and it is the perfect size. I roll the crusts slightly and they are perfectly crisped and browned to perfection. Enjoy..................heather

I didn't even know there was a cooking board, but I love seeing these recipe threads. Cooking at home is always a budget plus, so I think they fit right in. Usually the title is obvious enough that those not interested can just pass them by.

JMHO.

Cooking board? What cooking board? We are just having an OT.

I couldn't agree more that any recipe that helps us cook at home a quick and easy meal certainly has it's place on the budget board as well as the cooking board...works for me
