Ingredients
Before you embark on your culinary adventure, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
Now that you have all your ingredients, let’s dive into the cooking steps:
- Start by preparing your campfire or grill, ensuring it has a steady and medium heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it in a cast-iron skillet, making sure the sides come up over the edge.
- Pour the chicken mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Top with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal the filling inside. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with olive oil or melted butter for a golden finish.
- Place the skillet over the campfire grate or on the coals. Cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the heat, and let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
Gather around the campfire, cut into the delicious golden crust, and serve warm. This Campfire Chicken Pot Pie is not just a meal; it’s an experience that brings joy and comfort to your outdoor adventures. Enjoy every bite!
