chicken pot pie 5 ingredients

Ya know, sometimes ya just wanna make somethin’ tasty for the family but don’t wanna spend all day in the kitchen. Well, lemme tell ya, I got a chicken pot pie recipe that’s so easy, ya only need five things! Five! Can ya believe it? No need for a whole lotta fussin’ and messin’ around.

First off, ya gotta get yourself some chicken. Don’t matter if it’s cooked or not, but cooked is easier, I reckon. Get one of them rotisserie chickens from the store, or boil up some chicken breasts, whatever floats yer boat. Just gotta shred it up into bite-sized pieces, like ya do for chicken salad.

Chicken – The star of the show, gotta have it!

Next up, grab a can or two of cream of somethin’ soup. Cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, whatever yer family likes. Heck, ya can even mix ’em up if ya wanna get fancy. This soup is gonna be the sauce, ya see, makes it all creamy and good.

Cream of Something Soup – Makes it saucy and yummy.

Now, ya need some veggies. Frozen mixed veggies are just fine, no need to chop nothin’ up. Peas, carrots, green beans, whatever’s in the bag. Just dump ’em right in with the chicken and soup. Easy peasy, right?

Frozen Mixed Vegetables – Gives it some color and goodness.

Alright, almost there. Ya gotta have some sorta crust, ain’t no pot pie without a crust! Store-bought pie crusts are a lifesaver, lemme tell ya. Just unroll one and lay it in the bottom of a pie pan. Fill it up with yer chicken, soup, and veggie mix, then pop another crust on top. Pinch the edges together so it looks pretty, or not, who cares as long as it tastes good.

Pie Crusts – Gotta have that flaky crust!

Last but not least, a little somethin’ to make it all golden brown and delicious. Melt a bit of butter and brush it on top of the crust. Or, if ya don’t wanna mess with butter, ya can just give it a spray with some cookin’ spray. Works just as good.

Butter or Cooking Spray – For that golden brown finish.

Now, bake it in the oven til the crust is golden and the insides are bubbly. Every oven is different, so just keep an eye on it. Might take 30 minutes, might take an hour. Ya just gotta use yer noggin. When it looks done, it’s done.

That’s it! Five ingredients, a little bit of time, and ya got yourself a chicken pot pie that’ll make everyone happy. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good, honest food. Just like grandma used to make, only easier!

Ya see, cookin’ don’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. So next time ya need a quick and easy meal, give this chicken pot pie a try. Yer family will thank ya for it, I reckon.

Oh, and one more thing. Don’t be afraid to add a little somethin’ extra if ya want. A sprinkle of pepper, a dash of garlic powder, whatever ya like. It’s yer pot pie, make it yer own.

Now go on and get cookin’! And don’t forget to enjoy every last bite.
