Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure your Deep Covered Baker is clean and ready for use.
- Remove rotisserie chicken from packaging and carefully shred the meat using two forks, discarding skin and bones. Place shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.
- Add frozen mixed vegetables to the shredded chicken. Ensure vegetables are still frozen to maintain texture during baking.
- Pour cream of chicken soup and milk into the bowl. Mix ingredients thoroughly until chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, stirring to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Unroll one pie crust and gently press it into the bottom and sides of the Deep Covered Baker, allowing slight overhang.
- Pour chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Carefully place the second pie crust on top, trimming edges and crimping to seal. Cut 3-4 small slits on top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place Deep Covered Baker in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
- Slice and serve hot, enjoying the creamy, comforting chicken pot pie.
Tips
- Use a rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and convenience - it's already seasoned and saves you precious cooking time.
- Keep your frozen vegetables frozen until mixing to maintain their texture and prevent a soggy filling.
- Don't skip the steam slits on top of the pie crust - they're crucial for preventing a soggy, undercooked top.
- Let the pie rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make cutting easier.
- For extra golden crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking.
- If you don't have a Deep Covered Baker, a standard 9-inch pie dish works perfectly fine.
- Experiment with adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling for an extra flavor boost.
