| | The first recipe request for this week is chicken pot pie! This is a super easy and really yummy recipe. If you want to cheat and ignore the step-by-step instructions, you can just scroll to the bottom and see the recipe. But really, who doesn't want the play-by-play of me cooking?
So here we go. First you want to gather up your ingredients: frozen mixed veggies of your choice, chicken, cream of chicken soup, dried thyme, Bisquick, milk, and an egg.
Now, you can obtain your chicken any way you choose. This would be a great way to use up leftover chicken. However, as I don't usually make chicken that has leftovers, I use frozen chicken breast tenderloins. So I've gotta stick mine in the microwave to thaw them a bit.
Ta-da! Ding, chicken's done! Well, not exactly. I cut it all up and throw it in the frying pan with some oil and get it good and cooked up and yummy.
While the chicken is cooking, we'll make our crust. First you want to take a cup of Bisquick or other baking mix of your choice and dump it in a bowl.
And add your milk
And your egg....
And mix it all together.
Now go ahead and set that aside and get your filling ready. Throw your mixed veggies in a bowl, and feel good knowing that I use frozen veggies that have obviously been in the freezer for quite some time.
Add your cream of chicken soup. Yum!
And your thyme.
And when your chicken is cooked through, add that too!
And mix that all together.
Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie pan.
And pour the crust mix over the top of that.
Now, at this point, I probably should have spread the crust mix out a little better, but really, it cooks just fine like this.
Now pop that bad boy into a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, and BAM, you've got yourself a pie! Mmmm....chickeny goodness.
I love this stuff. The cream of chicken soup makes it amazing, and the thyme gives it a really good flavor. The recipe gives specific measurements for the veggies and chicken, but I always kind of wing it, and I've never had a problem with it.
