We love chicken pot pie at our house. This recipe is a favorite of my husbands and it's not extremely difficult to make. You can use ready made pie crusts or you can make your own, if you prefer. I use my Fool-Proof Pie Crust recipe and it works beautifully. Either way, I'm sure that you'll enjoy this wonderful pot pie.

How To Make chicken pot pie

  • 1
    Melt butter in a skillet and add chicken breasts and sprinkle with Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic seasoning. Sear chicken on both sides, then reduce heat and cover. Cook chicken, turning occasionally until done and juices run clear. Remove from pan and cool. When cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Alternate Cooking Method: You may also place chicken in salted water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.

    Place pie crust into a deep-dish 9" pan or a 9 x 13 baking dish. Layer chicken and mixed vegetables. Pour hot chicken soup mixture over chicken mixture and cover with top crust. Pour additional melted butter over crust, if desired. Put slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
