Hey y'all! I hope everyone reading is doing GREAT! Other than a lack of time to cook dinner, I'm doing fine. I have a very easy recipe for you today. It's Super Simple Chicken Pot Pie and it is quick and delicious! It also can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for cooking later. It's a good one to have in your recipe box for busy days. Best of all, it is a comforting, tasty meal for Fall. My family loves chicken pot pie but making a homemade version on a weeknight after work is daunting. "Ain't nobody got time for that!" So, I have this cheaters version...
Super Simple Chicken Pot Pie
1 Rotisserie Chicken- deboned and chopped (If you have that precious commodity of time, you can cook your own chicken. But why??????)
1 Large can Veg-All
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup with Herbs- (or plain... just roll with it.)
1 Tsp. Seasoned Salt
1/2 Tsp. Dried Thyme
2 Frozen Deep Dish Pie Crusts- (They have to be deep dish or else the filling won't all fit inside.)
Softened Butter- (YES! Real Butter!)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Let the pie crusts thaw slightly for about 5 minutes. (You don't want it frozen solid, but you don't want it too warm or the dough will break apart. So, use your judgment.) In a large bowl, mix the chopped rotisserie chicken, DRAINED Veg-All, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt and thyme. Pour the chicken mixture into one of the pie shells. Gently remove the other pie crust from the tin pan. (GENTLY! Or, it will break and your pie will look deformed- which is totally fine for eating, but people will tell you how ugly it is.) Place it on top of the filled pie crust. Press the edges together using a fork or your fingers to seal the edges and make it look pretty. If there are air pockets just gently pat them down. If the crust tears, use your fingers to seal it up. Use a knife to cut 3 or 4 vent holes in the center. Rub the softened butter over the top of the crust. Put the pie on a cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how golden brown you like it. Toss a salad, and you got a Winner! Winner! Easy Chicken Dinner!
