Cheater's Chicken Pot Pie - An elegant dish that is easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, carrots, and green beans)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Roll out one sheet of thawed puff pastry over the bottom of a greased pie dish, letting the edges hang over.
  4. Pour the chicken filling into the pastry-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping them together or folding the overhanging pastry over the top. Cut a few slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden color once baked.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
