Semi-homemade Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
We had some leftover rotisserie chicken from a previous night and I was so excited to whip up a pot pie.
It is the ultimate winter comfort food for me. So creamy and delicious with the mixed veggies and beautiful flaky crust. The only problem was that the chicken broth, I was so sure I had, was missing from action. I had a whopping 1/4 cup left in the refrigerator which is not nearly enough for my go-to recipe.
I was not really sure how I could salvage my dinner idea, but decided it might be smart to substitute a can of cream of chicken soup into the filling.
Boy was I right.
This recipe has it all. It is incredibly simple to whip up, freezer friendly, and delicious!
Tips for making the perfect chicken pot pie:
- Do not be afraid to mix things up. We used frozen veggie mix but you could easily substitute fresh vegetables. Try broccoli or even green beans!
- This is a great freezer meal! Before you get to the baking part of the recipe, wrap your pot pie in plastic wrap, stick in a zip top bag, and freeze.
- Mix and match your spices. I am a sucker for thyme. That being said, we have also tried an Italian spice blend and rosemary in this dish with wonderful results.

Ingredients
- 2 sheets deep dish pie crust
- 1-1/2 cups rotisserie chicken
- 1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1-2/3 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Unroll one of your pie crusts into a 9" deep pie dish. Set aside.

Gently lay the second crust on top of your pot pie. Trim and crimp the edges and cut three slits in the top with a knife to allow steam to escape.
