Oh dear, let me tell ya, this easy chicken pot pie is so simple, even a young’un like me can throw it together without much fuss. I’ve been making this dish for a long time now, and let me tell ya, it always hits the spot when I need somethin’ warm and hearty for the family. Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s all complicated, ‘cause it’s really not! We’re using them crescent rolls for the crust, and it makes things so much easier. Ain’t no need for fancy pie dough, not when you’ve got these handy rolls right in your pantry!
So, to start off, here’s what you’re gonna need:
- 1 can of crescent rolls
- 1 1/2 cups of cooked chicken (leftover’s fine, ain’t nobody got time to cook from scratch all the time!)
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup of mixed veggies (frozen’s just fine, no need to go out and get fresh stuff)
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or more if you’re a cheese lover!)
- 1/4 cup of milk
- Salt and pepper to taste (don’t forget that, it makes a big difference!)
Now, I know some folks might be picky about ingredients, but let me tell you, you don’t need nothin’ fancy to make this. Just good ol’ regular stuff you can find at the store. Once you’ve gathered all this up, it’s time to get started.
Step 1: First thing, preheat your oven to about 375°F. That’s the right temperature to get that crust nice and golden without burnin’ it. While that’s heatin’ up, take a baking dish and lightly grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray. Don’t want your pot pie stickin’ to the dish, no sir!
Step 2: Open up that can of crescent rolls and lay them out in the dish. You’re gonna want to press the seams together, so it makes one big sheet that covers the bottom of the dish. Don’t worry about it bein’ perfect; it’ll all work out in the end. Just make sure you’re covering the bottom good so that all that chicken and veggies don’t leak out later.
Step 3: Now, in a separate bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, mixed veggies, milk, and a bit of cheese. Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt and pepper to make it taste just right. Stir that all up nice and good, then pour it over the crescent rolls. Don’t be shy now, spread it evenly so every bite’s got some of that good stuff.
Step 4: Now, take the rest of the crescent rolls and lay ‘em over the top of that filling. Again, don’t worry too much if it ain’t all perfect. Just cover it up best you can. The more you fold those rolls over, the crustier and crunchier it’s gonna be. If you like it extra crispy, you can even brush the top with a little bit of melted butter or an egg wash before you bake it.
Step 5: Put that whole thing in the oven and bake it for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and all bubbly. You want it to smell so good that your mouth starts waterin’ as soon as you open the oven door. Trust me, it’s gonna be worth the wait!
Step 6: Once it’s done bakin’, take it out and let it cool for just a few minutes. That way, you don’t burn your mouth tryin’ to dig in too quick. You want it to set a little so the filling doesn’t go spillin’ everywhere when you cut it.
And that’s it! A simple, no-fuss chicken pot pie that’ll feed the whole family without breakin’ a sweat. It’s perfect for those busy days when you just don’t have time to do nothin’ fancy, but you still want somethin’ hearty and filling. Ain’t nobody gonna complain about this meal, I promise ya that!
Tips and Tricks:
- If you’re worried about a soggy bottom (we all hate that!), you can pop the bottom crescent rolls in the oven for about 5 minutes before you put the filling in. That’ll help it crisp up better.
- For a little extra flavor, sprinkle some garlic powder or Italian seasoning on top of the rolls before you bake it. Gives it a nice twist!
- If you’ve got picky eaters, you can always swap out the veggies for something else they’ll eat—like corn or peas!
So there ya go, an easy, tasty chicken pot pie that uses crescent rolls to make life a little easier. Now get in that kitchen and make somethin’ delicious. Your family will be sure to thank you!
