Speedy Prep Chicken Pot Pie

I aquired this recipe from a nurse I worked with about ten years ago. I love the fast prep time and delicious results. The longest part is the oven time.



Ingredients:
1 can Original Veg-All, drained
1 can cream of mushroom
1 can cream of potato
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp thyme
4 chicken breasts or 12 tenders (Can chicken will work too)
1-2 Pillsbury pie crusts

Directions:
  • Boil chicken and cut up
  • Mix all other ingredients together
  • Add cooked chicken to mixture
  • Lightly mist round or oval dish with cooking spray
  • Place pie crust in bottom. Fill with mixture. Place pie crust on top. ( I often use only the top crust and eliminate the bottom)
  • Cut several slits in pie crust for venting
  • Bake at 375 for 40 minutes uncovered
  • Cover and bake for 20 minutes more
I love using this recipe to bring food to someone with a new baby or to someone that is not feeling well. It takes me less then ten minutes to prep and I just send the baking instructions along. It can be frozen too for use at a later date.

  4. This is pretty much the same recipe I came up with and use frequently except I use all cream of mushroom and when I have it on hand I use half and half for a little extra richness. Plus I've never tried adding thyme to mine. Definitely an easy and delicious recipe!

    1. I didn't bake it before I froze it. It worked great that way.
