Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the rack is positioned in the middle of the oven for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the chicken mixture. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the filling.
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing the bottom and sides to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the pie crust and gently press it into the prepared pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides completely with a slight overhang.
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
- If using a top crust, place it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp or seal the crust, cutting a few small slits to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow and protect the oven bottom.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set and cool slightly.
- Slice and serve warm, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Use rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for maximum flavor and convenience.
- For an extra crispy crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking.
- Allow the pie to rest after baking – this helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
- If the crust edges start browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
- For added richness, consider adding a splash of cream or a handful of shredded cheese to the filling.
- Make sure your vegetables are well-drained to prevent a soggy bottom crust.
- This pie freezes beautifully – prepare an extra one for a quick future meal!
- Experiment with different herb combinations like thyme or rosemary to personalize the flavor.
