Ingredients

Filling

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, corn)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Crescent Roll Dough

2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Mix the ingredients together before adding to the dough.

Steps

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

Prepare the Dough

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a baking sheet, unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the pan to create a crust.

Assemble the Pot Pie

Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it over the top of the filling, pinching the edges to seal.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your comforting chicken pot pie!

Storage and Leftovers

One of the great things about this Easy Crescent Roll Chicken Pot Pie is how well it stores. If you have leftovers, simply cover the dish with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the fridge for up to three days. When reheating, place it back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through for the best results.

For longer storage, you can freeze the assembled pie before baking. Wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for up to two months. To bake from frozen, just add 10-15 minutes to the cooking time, and keep an eye on that crust to ensure it turns a beautiful golden brown.

Customizing Your Pot Pie

This recipe is designed to be flexible, allowing you to customize it to your taste. Feel free to experiment with different types of proteins, such as turkey or beef, if you're looking for a twist. You can even make it vegetarian by replacing the chicken with hearty vegetables like mushrooms, potatoes, or lentils.

You should also try adjusting the flavor profile by incorporating different seasonings or adding a splash of your favorite sauce, such as Worcestershire or soy sauce, into the filling. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it your own while still enjoying the comforting essence of a pot pie.
