I have made a few changes to this basic recipe that may interest a few readers. I parboiled some cut up baby carrots with one cut up small potato. I wanted a recipe suitable for two people so I used two corning "grab handle" dishes. I combined a small diced onion and a couple of sliced fresh mushrooms, sauteed in about a tablespoon of butter. I then combined all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl with the the left over chicken, the parboiled vegetables, sauteed onions and mushrooms, the soup and milk. Added a couple of tablespoons of frozen peas and about a teaspon of dried mixed spices. Divided the mixture between the two dishes and covered each "grab handle" with some rolled out puff pastry from a box that I keep in my freezer. Baked in the oven at 350 degrees for one half an hour, and, you will have a recipe to die for! A little more work than using frozen vegetables but to my husband and I, well worth the effort!

I liked this easy recipe especially for kids! Instead of a pie shell I used puffed pasteries...the kids like to watch them rise while I heat the mixture on the stovetop.I used frozen peas, carrots, and corn. I then put a "suprise" the bottom of the pasteries, fill and put the top on...Plastic cows, babies, etc...careful with very young ones..but my kids love the hunt for the prize!

So simple to make and quite delicious to eat. I used Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, a bag of frozen mixed veggies along with one box of frozen pearl onions in sauce, both thawed. Two cans of cream of chicken soup added to the chicken and veggies made it quite creamy. Who doesn't like pot pie?

I love this recipe! I used a bag frozen mixed veggies instead of canned and added some Mrs. Dash Original Blend for seasoning. It makes enough for two casseroles. I usually cook the crust for awhile before adding the filling so the bottom doesn't get all gooey. This is a great recipe to help you eat your veggies!

This was so easy to make,if your short on time this is great! My family loves pot pies, so I decided to look one up & saw this one. Gave it a try & It was a hit! I have made it twice now. I have a family of 7 so I made 2 pies & had a little less then 1/2 of a pie left. I think this would be a great thing to freeze & when your really short on time pop it in the oven. This will be great for us during baseball season, Quick & Easy! Thanks Tressie ;o)

Well I cheated a little on this one. Because I was making this for my homebound in-laws, I had to be very conscious of the salt content. So, I used frozen veggies instead of canned, and the low-sodium version of the canned cream of chicken soup. The result was still wonderful, and my in-laws thought I was a gourmet chef! Thanks, Tressie!

My family loved this! I added some chopped sauted onions and a shake or two of creole seasoning (we use Tony Chachere's on just about anything.) Delicious and easy.

This recipe is a real winner! So easy to prepare. I also baked mine a little longer to get a nicely golden brown crust (about 15-20 minutes extra baking time). Next time I will try adding some potato to the filling. I was actually just making this for myself because my husband has always said that he doesn't like pot pie... he loved this one and had seconds. I'll remember this recipe for Thanksgiving Turkey leftovers too.

I thought this one was great. I added some seasoned salt and pepper after reading some of the other reviews and baked the pie at 425 for 35 minutes. I definitely will make it again. My husband whom has to have a big meal also enjoyed it, thought it was filling.

My husband really enjoyed this. We both felt that it could use a little spice of something, maybe basil...maybe marinade chicken. Overall we really liked it!

i made this for my family and friends and the friends are still begging for some more..I was impressed with how easy it was, I figured I'd mess something up somewhere, but it was perfect! for the cream of chicken soup, I found some herbed cream of chicken and was kinda leary at first to try it, but went ahead and think that's what added the lil kick (and I used frozen veggies instead of canned...)

I did have to add some spice to mine. Once I tried salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but it's better with Tony's Creole Seasoning. If you use the Pillsbury crust that you roll out, cooking time takes about 20 minutes longer.

Easy and delicious! My family finished this pot pie within minutes and then asked me if I could make it again the next night! The only difficulty I had was with the bake time; the crust was still soft and white after the suggested period, so I left it in the oven for approx. another 15-20 minues (maybe it's just my oven).

This was a great recipe! It was very easy to make, and took very little time to prepare. In addition to the canned mixed veggies, I added some cubed red potatoes which made the pie a bit more substantial. The pot pies made with bisquick or jiffy baking mix are just as quick and easy to make, but I would choose this over over those recipes any day! It's just so nice to have a pie with a nice flaky buttery crust. :)
