Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 frozen pie crust shell
- 1 sheet frozen pie crust (thawed and rolled out)
Filling
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 package frozen peas and carrots
- 1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
- Onion powder, salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1–2 fresh green onions (optional, some reserved for topping)
Optional Topping
- Milk or egg wash (for brushing the crust)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen peas and carrots, cream of chicken or mushroom soup, milk, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and season with onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the filling mixture into the frozen pie crust shell. Roll out the thawed pie crust and cut it into shapes or strips to create a lattice pattern or any decorative design you prefer. Place the crust pieces over the filling, either covering completely or with a lattice top. Brush the crust with milk or egg wash if desired for a golden finish.
- Bake the pot pie: Place the assembled pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra shredded cheese and chopped green onions if liked. Enjoy your hearty and comforting chicken pot pie!
Notes
- You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom for a different flavor.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save prep time and add extra flavor.
- The lattice crust can be customized with any pattern or full top crust; vent with slits if using a full crust.
- Brushing the crust with egg wash creates a shinier, golden crust, while milk wash gives a softer finish.
- Frozen peas and carrots can be thawed slightly or used directly from frozen.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
