Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken pot pie is one of my all time favorite comfort dishes.

In this recipe I take a few short cuts to cut back on prep time and it really helps a busy girl out.

I usually like to keep my freezer stocked with frozen veggies. I stumbled upon a 10 for $10 sale at the grocery store and bought a variety of veggies.

These two bags below are what I used in my chicken pot pie.

The seasoning blend cuts back on all the chopping. Major time saver!

These mixed vegetables are great to have in your freezer. I use them in chicken pot pie, vegetable soup, fried rice, the options are endless!

I first started out by sautéing the seasoning blend in a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

After veggies are tender, I stirred in some flour (this will be the thickening agent for the sauce).

Cook the flour and veggies for a few minutes.

Stir in the chicken broth and bring back up to a simmer, cooking out all the lumps of flour.

Add a can of cream of chicken. Cook till this comes to a low simmer and it turns into a nice smooth sauce.

Add half and half and frozen mixed veggies. Cook until veggies are defrosted and sauce is at a low simmer.

Season with more salt and pepper.

Gently fold in the chicken.

Pour half of the chicken mix into an unbaked pie crust.

Cover with another pie crust and brush with egg wash.

Repeat steps for another pie. This recipe makes 2 pies.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Yum.

My favorite.
