Ingredients

To make this scrumptious chicken pot pie, you will need:

• 1 ½ cups shredded chicken (you can use turkey instead)
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 cup heavy cream (or swap with milk)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 pre-made pie crust
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, heavy cream, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a pie dish.
4. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust and cover with a second pie crust.
5. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
7. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Pro Tips for Success

For the perfect flaky crust, ensure your butter is cold when mixing. To avoid a soggy bottom crust, bake the pot pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Aim for a creamy filling, balancing seasonings to suit your taste. The total baking time should be about 30-35 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the pot pie with a fresh green salad, cranberry sauce, or a cozy soup for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy!
