- Line a 9 inch circular baking dish with one pie crust (I use this dish because it holds all the contents well) (you can use a square dish if you would like or pre made pie crust thats thawed, you will just have to cook more than one pie).
- Add all the contents to the baking dish from the pan.
- Put another pie crust on top of the filling make sure you have a good seal around or the contents will spill out, also make sure you put at least four slits in the top so it can vent.
- Cook until pie crust is golden brown, usually 20 to 30 minutes depending on how your oven cooks.
What I love about pot pie is, you can cook the chicken right then and there…or you can use leftover chicken (or turkey) if you have it. You can whip up a pie crust just for the occasion…or you can use a crust you might have languishing in the freezer. Chicken pot pie doesn't have to be a huge ordeal! The filling for this Quick Chicken Pot Pie is made from scratch and has no cream in it (most chicken pot pies do). The sauce is made with flour, milk and a bit of cheese instead of using a carton of cream.
