In honor of Pi day, March 14, I made our favorite chicken pot pie. It is quick and easy to make and wonderful to eat.

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients:
2-3 cups of chopped chicken (turkey, chicken breasts or even canned chicken)

20 oz. frozen mixed veggies

1-2 potatoes (optional)

1/2 onion (optional)

white sauce or two 10 oz. cans of cream soup

2 cups of self-rising flour

1 – 1 and 1/2 cups of milk

1 stick of butter or margarine

2 eggs

Filling:
2-3 cups chopped cooked chicken
20oz. frozen mixed veggies or fresh. I usually add a little onion and a potato or two to mine but you can omit if you wish
2 1/2 cups white sauce * or two 10 oz. cans cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
Crust:
2 cups self-rising flour. (I prefer Gold Medal)
1 – 1 1/2 cups milk
1 stick butter or margarine melted. I prefer butter.
2 eggs

The crust mixture will resemble pancake batter.
To prepare I  mix and pour the filling into a 13 X 9 pan. Mix and pour crust mix on the top.  Bake 350 for 45 minutes – 1 hour or until crust is done. It will be golden brown and the filling hot and bubbly. You may eat!

* White sauce recipe
On medium heat, I melt 1 stick of butter, margarine, or oil in a saucepan or skillet. (I prefer butter.)
Sprinkle with maybe about 6 tablespoons of flour (I usually don’t measure the flour). I stir until it is mixed in and I add salt and pepper to taste. Then I slowly pour in 2.5 cups of milk and stir as I add the milk. If it is too thick add a bit more milk or water and stir until it is ready. It will resemble a cream soup or white gravy consistency. I then use it in my pot pie.

 

Let me know if you make it and how you change it up to make it your own! Happy Cooking!
