30 Minute Chicken Pot Pie

In case any of you were concerned that I may have dropped of the face of the earth, I haven’t. It just turns out that Spring fever makes me not want to be inside very much. So, I’ve been working on yard projects instead of blog projects. But, I have a post brewing that I’m thinking about, and in the mean time, thought I’d share a recipe that is one of my kid’s favorites.

30 Minute Chicken Pot Pie

 

Somewhere along the way, I acquired the cookbook, Best Loved Casseroles. And, in it, is a chicken pot pie recipe that I’ve adapted a little bit to make it faster, and easier, and yummier…mine has more crust. And, when you have 3 little kids, fast and easy is a must. The 30 minutes refers to the prep time, but it does take an additional 30 minutes to cook. Anytime my kids are asked what their favorite food is, they always answer chicken pot pie. And, it really is a cinch to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) of chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 small chicken breasts cooked and diced
  • 2 cups frozen Mixed vegetables
  • 1/2 tsp. thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or dried)
  • 2 9-inch frozen pie crusts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Pull out pie crusts and set on counter to thaw right before cooking.
  3. Cut up 2 small chicken breasts and cut into one inch cubes, cook as you like (boil, sauté, etc.) Set aside.
  4. Pour chicken broth, salt and pepper into a glass measuring cup.
  5. Add enough milk to equal 2 1/2 cups.
  6. In large saucepan, melt butter.
  7. Add onion and celery and cook until fragrant and onion is translucent.
  8. Stir in flour until well blended.
  9. Gradually stir in broth mixture.
  10. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then turn down heat and let sauce thicken.
  11. Add cooked chicken, frozen veggies, thyme, and parsley.
  12. Separate your pie crusts and place one pie crust in round 9 inch non-stick cake pan.
  13. Pour contents of saucepan into the crust.
  14. Cover the mixture with the second pie crust, flipping it upside down. It's OK if the edges aren't perfect. You are going to serve it with a spoon anyway! The two crusts don't need to be touching.
  15. Cook for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown!

How to Make a Chicken Pot Pie in 30 Minutes or Less

*Just a note, when I took the above pictures, I used celery seed because I was out of celery. Your mixture may not look exactly the same when you use regular celery. It won’t have all the spots in it like mine shows. It’s better with real celery. Trust me!

    I've been wanting to make some chicken pot pie. I have a recipe where you make it with refrigerator biscuits (because hey, I'm lazy) but it's just not the same. I may have to try this recipe over the weekend-I think I even have most of the ingredients! Now you've made me very hungry! :-)

    Pot pie is the perfect comfort food! I've seen it made so many ways and I've tried multiple ones. Some of them seem more like chicken and dumplings instead of pie. I recently made a chicken pot pie soup that was to die for. I was afraid the family would hate it , but paired with homemade bread they didn't miss the homemade crust and I didn't miss all the work!

    […] So, I’ve been trying to share a recipe once a week, and so far, I’m doing great! This recipe is something that my husband and I made a lot in our newlywed days, and for some reason, the other night, I was craving a simple, light dinner. It must be almost summertime. Time to wear shorts, so it must mean I have to stop eating chicken pot pie. […]
