Easy Breezy Chicken Pot Pie


This recipe was thrown together out of convenience and necessity.  Most ingredients, you would have on hand anyway.  I buy several varieties of the canned soup and frozen veggies so I have them on hand when I am looking for a quick fix dinner.  The kids favorite is anything with an abundance of cheese!  Here is the basic recipe and then below I will give you some ideas for variations.  Experiment with the soup, veggies, meat and cheese as the sky is the limit!!

Oh!  You also can have a variety of choices for the pies crusts as well.  Besides making your own…you can buy a set ready made by Pillsbury for both the bottom and top crust. Or you can buy a frozen deep dish pie crust and use the puff pastry dough by Pillsbury for the top.  I have done it both ways…and it’s good.  However, when I do the Pillsbury ready made pie crusts in the canned biscuit section…I take granulated garlic and sprinkle it on the bottom and press it in & then sprinkle it on top.  Yummy!!
