Ingredients For Your Recipe For Chicken PotPie

These are the tireless ingredients I’ve used for years to create the best damn chicken potpie, and you’ll find that they combine to make it a classic potpie.

You can also deviate from the listed ingredients and shortcut in other ways too, and I’ll elaborate on that as well, keep reading or jump to the recipe!

How To Make Your Easy Chicken Pie Crust Pot Pie

You don’t need more than 5 minutes to toss this delicious comfort food together; the leftover cooked chicken is the star ingredient!

Of course, I am using canned chicken in the recipe, but whatever you choose, the meat is already cooked, which cuts the baking time considerably. AMEN!

Step 1: Prepping the Pie Crust Chicken Pot Pie CRUST

You’ll want to pull your pie crust out ahead of the preparation of the easy chicken pie crust pot pie, so you can easily unroll the pie crust without tearing it as you work with it.

I recommend about 1/2 hour ahead of time, but not more; we don’t want the pie crust for the chicken pot pie crust to be mooshy or hard to work with.

Simply remove your pie crust from the refrigerator, and allow it to sit on the counter.

First, you’ll want to preheat your oven and ensure your (deep) pie pan is ready, then set this aside.

Pro Tip To Get that Pie Crust Chicken Pot Pie Prepped Faster

Hot Tip: If you are in a pinch for time, you can open the pie crust wrapper and use the defrost cycle for 30 seconds on 50% power, and then your pie crust will unroll with ease out of the wrapper; just be stingy with the cycle because it can make the pie crust too soft and that will ruin it.

Step 2: The Chicken Meat Prep For Your Chicken in Pie Crust Recipe

Begin by choosing portions of your cooked chicken meat with nothing gross, and trim off anything you would not want to chew on.

However, if you use canned chicken meat, drain it, separate it, and then set it aside.

Once you’ve trimmed any chunky fat pieces off your chicken cut, chop that portion into bite-size pieces so that when you scoop your fork into the pie crust, you won’t require a knife to cut up your meal further.

Set this aside and move on to the next step.

Step 3: Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie Preparation

Frozen veggies get combined with your gravy/soup of choice.

In this one, a condensed cheddar soup is the gravy of choice, and it will turn out a bubbling potpie with fabulous taste, as it pairs well with the chicken flavor.

Step 4: Pie Crust and Leftover Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Now that you have combined all of this, you will transfer what you have in your mixing bowl into the pie crust.

So, place your pie crust base into a deep pie dish, and poke a few holes (using your fork) in the bottom to ensure you don’t end up with a soggy crust.

Next, place the chicken and vegetable (frozen) contents into the base pie crust.

Step 5: Topping Off The Chicken Veggie Pot Pie

Working with the additional top crust, place it atop the mixture in the deep pie baking dish and cover the contents.

If you need to, unroll the pie crust, place it on the counter(with a bit of flour underneath), and roll it to elongate it to cover as the top piece must be crimped and cover the radios of the pie.

Follow that with crimping the edges of the top crust to the bottom to seal.

Slit the top of the crust with a knife so your potpie will vent when baking.

Step 5: Bake Your Chicken Veggie Pie Recipe

I don’t use an egg wash for my recipe across the top of the crust; I place it on the baking tray (in case it bubbles over) and bake it until it is golden brown.

You can use an egg wash if you prefer.

However, I will give you a few serving suggestions.

There’s no need to defrost the veggies, as you can see below, I never do, and they cook just fine.

As for the chicken, make sure to shred the chicken or cube it small.

The meal cooks so fast because you will use cooked chicken, quite the game-changer component, don’t you agree?

Remember to vent the top so that the crust does not get soggy and it allows the steam to escape.
