This easy chicken pot pie recipe simplifies a classic comfort dish. Combining condensed cream of chicken soup with frozen mixed vegetables, cooked chicken, milk, and an egg, it's topped with a quick baking mix crust. Baked until golden and bubbly, it offers a hearty, convenient meal in under an hour, perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.
This recipe offers a quick pot pie, but for enhanced depth, consider sautéing diced onions and celery before mixing the filling. For a richer flavor, swap some milk with chicken broth and ensure your cooked chicken is seasoned well. The 'baking mix' crust is convenient; however, a traditional pie crust or even puff pastry will yield a more sophisticated, flakier texture. To avoid a watery pie, ensure frozen vegetables are thoroughly thawed and drained. Monitor the baking closely to prevent over-browning of the crust while ensuring the filling is bubbly and hot.
