Tasty Tuesday: Chicken Pot Pie

Truth: If you haven't figured this out about me by now, I love easy recipes. I don't have a ton of time to fix dinner with a 2 (almost 3) year old running around. Life is crazy...some days I'm home with E (busy), some days I'm working (busy)...so there's never any time to cook fancy. I've been making chicken pot pie for what seems like 100 years. It's hearty, semi-healthy and super easy. I've made chicken pot pie with fresh veggies and everything from scratch...but this one is super easy.

Boil chicken breasts (I use three) for 30 minutes to an hour (until tender and falling apart).

Remove from water, cut chicken into small pieces (cubes).

Mix your can of peas/onions/mushrooms, carrots and potatoes together.
Add in your cream of (whatever) soup, chicken and some seasoning salt, pepper, Italian seasonings and garlic salt.
Press your pie crust (store bought) into the bottom of a round dish and put fork marks in the bottom (this pie crust was such a pain to work with for some reason so it is not pretty).
Spoon in your vegetable and chicken mixture.
Top it off with the other pie crust, pressing together with the bottom crust. Put fork marks in the outside of the crust (once again, this crust was not cooperating and tore in a place...so not super pretty).
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts (boiled and cut into cubes)
1 can carrots
1 can peas, pearl onions and mushrooms mixed
1 can of sliced potatoes
1 can cream of chicken/celery/mushroom (you choose)
Seasoning salt, pepper, garlic salt, Italian seasonings (about a tsp of each, but really just to taste)
2 pie crusts
1 tablespoon of butter

Boil 3 chicken breasts for 30 minutes to an hour (until tender). Remove from water and cut into small pieces (cubes). Mix your can of peas/onions/mushrooms, carrots and potatoes together.
Add in your cream of (whatever) soup, chicken and some seasoning salt, pepper, Italian seasonings and garlic salt.

Spoon in your vegetable and chicken mixture.
Top it off with the other pie crust, pressing together with the bottom crust. Put fork marks in the outside of the crust (once again, this crust was not cooperating and tore in a place...so not super pretty).

Done! Quick and easy! Perfect for a family dinner or to bring to a friend. Easy meal...pair it with a salad and bread!
