Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
Step
12 mins
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. (7 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and their moisture has released, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
04
Step
45 mins
Stir in the condensed cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, softened cream cheese, drained diced tomatoes, and chicken stock. Mix well to combine. If the mixture seems too thick, add a bit more chicken stock until it reaches a creamy consistency. (3 minutes)
05
Step
Stir in the thawed and drained mixed vegetables and the crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until everything is evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (2 minutes)
06
Step
Gently place one pie crust into the prepared pie plate, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the crust-lined pie plate. (3 minutes)
07
Step
Top with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. (5 minutes)
08
Step
Cover the pot pie loosely with aluminum foil during the first 25 minutes of baking to prevent the crust from browning too quickly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. (55 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Cajun seasoning to the chicken while cooking.
To make ahead: Assemble the pot pie completely, but do not bake. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preferences or what you have on hand. Bell peppers, celery, or potatoes would be excellent additions.
If you want a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of chicken broth.
For a flakier crust, use cold butter and shortening in your homemade pie dough.
