Easy Chicken Pot Pie


Ok. I know that some of you might balk when you read the ingredient list. Don't. Give it a try and you'll thank me.

This is just about the easiest thing I make. This pot pie takes 5 minutes to assemble. FIVE MINUTES! And it's yummy. We sometimes have to restrain ourselves so that the two adults and two small children at our house don't polish off the whole pie in one sitting. And we fight over who gets to eat the leftovers for lunch. Totally not kidding.

If you wanted to make it even better, you could always make the crust from scratch, cook a chicken or turkey for the meat, make a gravy from the drippings, and mix up your favorite vegetables. But the whole reason I make this is that it takes me FIVE MINUTES!!

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

2 rolled pie crusts
16 oz bag of mixed veggies
1-1 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
12 oz jar of turkey gravy*

In a medium bowl, mix the veggies, chicken, and gravy. Roll out a pie crust into the bottom of your pie plate**. Fill with filling. Top with second pie crust and crimp edges. Bake at 425 for 40-50 min.

*Did you know you could buy gravy in a jar?? Obviously you can make gravy from a packet to make this cheaper, but then it would take longer than 5 minutes to make.

**This makes a full pie. I suggest you use a deep pie dish or increase your filling ever so slightly and make two regular sized pies.

  1. I would make chicken (or turkey) pot pies, but for some reason Nathan has this deep hatred of chicken pot pie.
