I spent the whole day in the kitchen making cookies, so I didn't want to do much work making dinner.
So I made a chicken pot pie for dinner, it was maybe one of the easiest things I've ever made. I'm sure everyone knows how to make it, but I wanted to share the ease of this.
1- 4-6 lb chicken, put it in the crock pot, cover it with water and let it cook a few hours until its fall off the bone tender.
A bag of frozen mixed veggies.
2- packages of store bought roll out pie crusts, you can find these in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, 2 come in a box.
1 family sized can of cream of chicken soup.
Some fresh veggies if you have them on hand, I had broccoli.
Chicken broth from the crock pot.
A little salt and pepper to taste
When the chicken is done, take it off the bone, and cut it into bite sized pieces.
Put it in a large bowl.
Add the cream of chicken soup and veggies.
Mix everything together. if it seems to thick, add some broth until its the right consistency.
Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with 2 of the crusts, they are round so you'll probably have to cut them to fit.
Add the chicken mixture, and cover with the other 2 crusts. You'll probably have extra pieces from the crusts, so I spelled my son's name on the top of the pie. Poke some holes in the top with a fork and put it in the oven at 350 until its golden brown on top.
There are no exact measurements in this one, I just kind of put stuff in as I saw fit. So you can't go wrong with the veggies or things you put in there. Its like an everything but the kitchen sink kind of thing.
It makes a LARGE quantity, so be sure you're feeding a lot of people or you like left overs.
We really enjoyed it and like I said, it was very easy and filling.
Hope you guys enjoy!
