Chicken Pot Pie

Over the years I have tried to make homemade chicken pot pies and have never liked how any of them turned out. Recently I was given several boxes of the pre-made pie crusts and I created my own recipe that turned out so good the kids ate every drop!

  • Four pre-made pie crusts (in the refrigerated section of the grocery store)
  • Two sticks of butter or margarine
  • 1 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 - 2 c. milk
  • About 2 c. pre-cooked chicken, ham, turkey or whatever your choice of meat
  • 1 c. frozen diced carrots
  • 1 c. frozen peas
  • 1 c. frozen corn
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 13x9x2" baking dish with non-stick spray.

Lay three of the pie crusts in your dish the best you can to cover the bottom, sides and enough to leave a 1/4"-1/2" lip on the edge of the dish. Press seems together to make one large crust.

Place one cup of the meat into the dish, spreading around the bottom. Salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle some garlic powder over chicken, reserving some for top layer. Add vegetables spreading them over the chicken.

Add other cup of chicken to top of vegetables and season with remaining salt, pepper and garlic powder. On the stove, melt two sticks of butter or margarine and let cook until it starts to turn golden.

Add the flour and using a wire whisk, stir quickly to remove any lumps. Add 1 1/2-2 c. of milk until it is the consistancy you like. Remember, oven cooking time will thicken it some.

Take remaining pie crust and fold into fourths and cutting on the folds. Place one on each end on top of the chicken and place the other two in the center. You will have gaps, but this is perfect for ventilation. Fold the bottom crust edges over the top, forming the edge.

Place in preheated oven for 45-60 mins. or until crust is golden.
