Chicken Pot Pie

If your looking for a really good and easy recipe for a chicken pot pie, this is a good one.  My friend Kristen made this for us when Adda was born and I have been making it ever since.  Most of the time I don't even look at the recipe while I'm making it.  It's that easy!

Chicken Pot Pie

1 can drained green beans

1 carrot- chopped and steamed

1 1/2 cups broccoli -chopped and steamed

5 small new potatoes - chopped and steamed

3 chicken breasts - boiled and chopped 

(Kristen uses a rotissere chicken)

1 can cream of chicken soup

2/3 cup milk

1 cup cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 pie crusts

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Add to bottom pie crust and top with second pie crust.  Pinch edges together and cut slits in the top.  Bake at 425 for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the inside is bubbly.  

I have only used green bean a few times.  Only because I can't seem to remember they are in the recipe when I am at the grocery store.  I have also chopped my vegetables, drizzled them with EVOO, and roasted them in the oven before adding them to the other ingredients.  Last year during the fall I made it with carrots, sweet potatoes and butternut squash.  It was delish as well!  The possibilities are endless.  I always add way more vegetables than it calls for.  

The day I was at the store they did not have any rotisserie chickens ready so I bought these chicken pieces because they were on sale.  I rubbed them with EVOO and seasoned them with salt and pepper and baked them for an hour on 350. 

I always add a little more milk and cheese because I add extra vegetables. 

When Kristen made it for us to eat when we brought Adda home from the hospital she cut hearts out of the top!  How cute is that! 

  I love this meal!  It is one of my very favorites!
