Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh)
- 1 can (10.5 oz/298 g) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 pre-made pie crust (for topping)
Instructions
- Gently layer cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and seasonings into the crock pot, ensuring thorough mixing.
- Set crock pot to low temperature and allow contents to simmer and meld together for 4-6 hours, periodically checking that the filling develops a rich, creamy consistency.
- Once filling reaches desired thickness, carefully transfer the aromatic mixture into a prepared baking dish, spreading evenly to create a uniform base.
- Delicately drape pie crust over the chicken and vegetable filling, ensuring complete coverage and gentle tucking around the edges.
- Place baking dish in preheated oven at 375F (190C), positioning rack in center for optimal heat distribution.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, watching closely as crust transforms into a golden, flaky masterpiece with crisp, caramelized edges.
- Remove from oven and allow pot pie to rest for 5-7 minutes, enabling filling to set and cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Customize the vegetable mix by adding your favorite seasonal or frozen veggies for extra nutrition and flavor variety.
- Swap heavy cream with coconut milk or Greek yogurt to create a lighter, dairy-free alternative that still maintains creamy texture.
- Pre-cook chicken thoroughly to ensure food safety and enhance overall dish tenderness, using rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
- Enhance crust’s golden-brown appearance by brushing with egg wash or melted butter before baking, creating a stunning, crispy top layer.
