Chicken Pot Pie


Though this recipe is nothing incredibly fancy, everyone loves it and it’s so easy to make. I made this for dinner tonight and figured I’d put this out there for anyone who wants to give it a try.




Start off by cooking the chicken. I use drumsticks for this. For a single pot pie you only need 4 or 5 of them.


Drizzle olive oil all over them and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Stick them into the oven to bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.






Once they’re done, take them out and let them cool so you can debone them.













While the chicken is cooling, now is a good time to get started on the potatoes. Peel about 3 or 4 small to medium potatoes.









Cut them into small cubes and boil them until they are cooked, but still tender; about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them though; if you boil them too long they will turn to mush.

Dump in the potatoes with the chicken.
















Add peas or mixed veggies. The amount doesn’t matter. If they’re frozen, boil them for a couple of minutes first.













Add a can of cream of chicken soup










and some salt and pepper.













Mix well.









Now it’s time to get your pie pans ready. Take a minute to preheat your oven. I set it at 450 degrees.

If you’re incredibly handy you can make your own piecrust with your favorite recipe.

I am not incredibly handy.



Unroll the piecrust into the bottom of a round pan or baking dish. Each pack of these comes with two.

Press it against the bottom of the pan with your fingers.





Add the filling and press it down into the crust.

 Place the second piecrust on top and press the edges together. Cut slits in the top to vent.

 …and hopefully get them straighter than I did.


Into the oven they go for 20 minutes. Since all of the filling is cooked already, the goal here is to get the piecrust nice and brown.











Ta-da!






Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. If you cut into it right away it’ll be a mess.





And that’s it. Simple, cheap and oh so yummy.
