Lizz's Easy Chicken Pot Pie

2Bleu's Note:

This is a variation of a recipe of a dish my friend Lizz from N.J. made often. It is a simple and delicious chicken pot pie. I added a choice of 3 different topping crusts.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 1.0 pie

Bottom

• 1 (9 inch) frozen pie crusts, for bottom (optional)

Filling

• 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 1 (15 ounce) can Veg-All, drained (mixed vegetables)
• 1 -2 cup cooked chicken, cubed (leftovers or 1 large can chunk chicken, drained)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
• salt and black pepper, to taste

Bisquick Topping

• 1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 1/4 cup egg substitute
• 1 cup Bisquick

Twisted Topping

• 1 (11 ounce) package refrigerated breadstick dough (optional)

Pie crust topping

• 1 (9 inch) deep dish pie shells (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F In medium bowl, mix filling ingredients and then pour into bottom pie crust (if using). Select your topping, and bake for 30-40 minutes.
2. BISQUICK TOPPING: Mix milk, egg, and bisquick in a small bowl. Spread out over chicken mixture. (or the second pie crust if prefered).
3. TWISTED TOPPING: Unroll and separate the breadsticks. Place 6 of the breadsticks across the pie plate over the sausage mixture, twisting each one and spacing evenly. Place the remaining 6 breadsticks over the first in the opposite direction, creating a lattice pattern. Trim ends if needed.
4. TWO CRUST TOPPING: Place 2nd pie crust over top of filling, tucking the edges under the bottom crust and flute them together. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

This was very simple to make. I followed the recipe as written using the pie crusts. For my family it was missing some seasoning. Next time I would add garlic powder, pepper and maybe some salt. This was a nice, quick easy, weeknight meal. I actually made this in the morning and then hubby popped them in the oven when he got home from work.

I did not do the Bisquick Topping but used the regular pie crust. This was a very quick to assemble pot pie. I used low sodium cream of chicken soup. :D Thanks.
