Chicken pot pies are on the dinner menu tonight. If you’ve never made a homemade chicken pot pie before, not only are they super easy to make, but they taste 10 million and 1 times better than those frozen ones you can find in the frozen food section of local grocery store.
Here is my no fail recipe with tons of pictures.
Ingredients
3 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
1 can of corn kernels, drained
2 medium potatoes, cooked and cut into chunks
1 jar Heinz chicken gravy {or homemade}
1 egg {for egg wash}
1 homemade double pie crust
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a large bowl combine chicken, corn, potato, gravy, salt and pepper and combine. Scoop mixture into individual pie plates or large ramekins. Cover with pie crust and brush an egg wash over the top. Bake at 350 until gravy bubbles and pie crust tops are a nice golden brown {about 30-45 minutes}. Cool slightly and serve. Yield 4 servings.

Delicious looking meal there!! I love doing this with leftovers. If we have a roasted chicken on Sunday, then Monday night is usually chicken pot pie night. I use the leftover chicken, gravy and (usually) mixed vegetables that are left over and I make one regular sized pie w/top and bottom crusts. Sooooo delicious, super easy and ALWAYS gobbled up! Yummy!

We were going to have chicken potpies tonight too…until I sat on I-5 through the 8 mile backup in Lakewood; instead we will have them tomorrow.

Funny you would post this! I was just making freezer meals after cooking up a Thanksgiving sale turkey and after several quesadilla mix packages, I made a homemade chicken (turkey) pot pie for the freezer. Was thinking of making another one for dinner tomorrow!

Just wondering what your recipe is for the homemade crust? 🙂

Here is a link to my homemade crust. If you don’t like Crisco, you can use butter instead. 🙂

These look great, I have a turkey in the freezer I was looking for a way to use up. Maybe this weekend I’ll make a bunch – they look like they would make good freezer meals for an easy reheat weekday dinner.

We make chicken pot pies all the time. Have you ever canned the filling?? I just tried it today, as we had lots of leftover filling. i ended up with 7 quarts.
