Bowl Full of Blessings: My Famous "Stolen" Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

I grew up loving chicken pot pie. However, the chicken pot pie I am talking about came out of a box or out of a box at a restaurant. It’s a favorite comfort food for me and I have always wanted to learn how to make it.

Then comes the joy and complete bliss that is {Pintrest}. I did some searching and found this post. Unfortunately the link is no longer any good so, I will share this recipe with you admitting completely that it’s not my own creation but it is now one of my favorites.

I really enjoy making this pot pie for other people. It’s such a blessing to be able to provide a family with dinner and this pie makes for a perfect traveling dinner. As you will soon enough find out, it is ridiculously easy to make and this recipe makes two pies.

I almost always deliver one of the two pies to someone, but once in a while I will just freeze the filling and wait to make it another time. I am not a huge fan of that as I find the filling is too watery after having been frozen.

So, I could go on and on about the joys of chicken pot pie, but let’s just get right to it. Below I will condense the recipe for you in a printable format.

Gather up your stuff! Super Easy!

You need two boxes of refrigerated pre-done pie dough, two cans of cream of chicken soup, 3-4 baby potatoes, 2-3 frozen chicken breasts, frozen mixed vegetables, shredded sharp cheddar, 1 egg, and two pie tins!

Oh, please don’t forget your crock pot!!!!! Yes folks this is crock pot recipe that is my go to!

Peel and chop your potatoes into bite size pieces. I cut mine in about 1.5” sized pieces or so.

Measure out 1 cup of your frozen vegetables

Add your cream of chicken soup into the

bowl with your potatoes and frozen mixed vegetables and mix together.

Add your seasonings.

I love adding a bit of

seasoned salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Gently mix it all together.

Add your frozen chicken to the crock pot.

Now, I have tried this with all of kinds of different sizes of chicken breast, and by far it works the best with two giant chicken breasts or three medium chicken breasts. In this case we had three medium.

Pour your mixture over the chicken and set your crock pot on low and let it do its magic for 6-8 hours. (Or on High for 4-6 hours)

Now, what to do for 6-8 hours? Well, what I normally do is go to work. That is one thing I love about crock pot meals is the smell of someone cooking when I walk in the door. All the credit I get for making dinner with such very little effort.

Ok, now look at this…. This is what awaits me when I get home! It smells so good, so comforting.

Pre-set your oven to 350 degrees.

Go ahead and pull the chicken breasts from the mixture. The chicken will be fall apart perfect… you may have to fish out all the pieces from the crock pot.

Take two forks and shred your chicken.

Go ahead and shovel that mess of yummy goodness back
into the crock pot….

Be sure to shut it off.

Now it’s time to prep those pans

I got these pans from my in laws. They are Marie Callendar pie pans that you get some kind of discount or refund if you return them. I'm sure glad they didn't because these are awesome little pie tins.

Generally with the regular dough I get, I have to work with it cold and fast. This dough I was working this day was breaking all over the place… I had to warm it up to make it work. Not my favorite but it did its job.
