It occurred to me that the timing is perfect. This recipe is a great way to use leftover turkey in place of the chicken.
ROBIN'S CHICKEN POT PIE
two boxes refrigerated pie crusts
small bag frozen mixed vegetables
2 cans diced new potatoes
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken (or more if you like)
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
chopped onion to taste (I used about a cup)
salt and pepper to taste
Mix everything together, divide and pour into two pie crusts. Cover with two remaining pie crusts, slit to vent and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes until golden brown and heated through.
You can freeze one pie if you like.
These are the pie crusts I used (two crusts per package).
Instead of making two pies, I made one 9 X 13-inch pie. I simply laid one crust on my kitchen counter, placed another one of top of it and used my rolling pin to roll it out to fit this dish. (I repeated this for the top crust.) Also, I baked the bottom crust for fifteen minutes before I added the filling.
I mixed everything together in a large skillet and heated it through on top of my stove before I placed it in the baking dish. Also, I added a little garlic powder to this mixture. We like garlic.
Be sure to make slits in the top crust.
When I trimmed the excess pie dough off the bottom crust to fit it in the dish, my Martha-ness came out. I rolled the extra dough and used my little miniature leaf-shaped cutter....
...to add some maple leaves to the top of the pot pie.
As you can see, it's very thick and hearty. If you prefer a creamier pot pie, I'm sure you can stir a little milk into the filling mixture.Next time I make this dish, unless we're having company for dinner, I'll make it in two smaller dishes and freeze one. I think we all know pot pies freeze beautifully. :-)This recipe made a huge pan of chicken pot pie. I could have easily fed eight people that night. And it's GOOD. Very good.

Looks yummy and easy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will definitely have to make this:)
Okay, mine wont be this beautiful, but it will hopefully taste the same. I plan to print this out and make it, several of them, freeze them for winter nights when we're whipped. xoxoox
You're style makes me smile!
Yay!! I can comment now!! ;D
This looks very similar to my homemade chicken pot pie, Barb. Looks delicious and not hard at all to make.
Thanks for the recipe. :-)
I'll start my cooking on Wednesday for Thanksgiving, but right now I have no idea what's for supper tonight. Whatever it is, I have to make extra to take a Ladies meeting at church tonight. Hmmm....
Hope Rob's shoulder is healing well and that Cameron's doing better with his teething.
Happy Thanksgiving, Barb. :-)
I've always wanted a good chicken pot pie recipe and this one seems to fit the bill!! I still get odd looks when I take pictures of my food! lol Thanks so much for sharing this Barb, the step by step intructions always help:-)
Your instructions are always great and thanks for posting this! And I love that it freezes.
Those leaves on top are so fun!
I found a diabetic approved chicken pot pie recipe. I plan on making it this week. My husband loves pot pies.
Oh, Happy Name Your PC Day.
Gorgeous! You do Martha proud, my friend!
For some reason your new posts aren't showing up in my bloglines (well not just yours -quite a few bloggers!) so I had no idea there were new posts. I thought - wow bloggers sure are quite these last few days!! So I"ve missed like your last 5 posts or something - how frustrating!!
This looks like a delicious recipe and one I think I'll make when my inlaws are here for New Years!
Okay now that I'm drooling! Your step by step pictures are so fun and makes me want to go make this right now! Thanks Barb!
Looks, easy & yummy. Like you, unless we're having company, this would last several meals for us!
Thanks for sharing..
:)
Ooh, that looks delicious, nice and thick! I love the "Martha" in you with the cute leaves you cut out to decorate the top of the pot pie crust!!!
I always do the cooking on Thanksgiving for my family. Post like yours, just gets me a little more excited everytime! I have never had so many good ideas as this year blogging! Your pictures are wonderful too! :)
I can attest to how good it is; I've eaten a couple (or more!) of Robin's, and they're SO good! If only Chris liked vegetables . . . do you think if I made the little leaves to put on top he wouldn't notice the veggies? ;)
I hope Rob's arm heals quickly for you. It must be hard right now with him not having a permanent job. Hang in there - God is good and I'm sure he has plans for you.
Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving!
PS> I get to go to the fabric store Friday - I'm looking for some fabric for the santa stars for next year!
It looked wonderful...I will have to try it verrrrrry soon. Thanks.
I love your picture tutorial - this recipe looks fabulous! Can't wait to give it a try! Thanks for sharing.
P.S. when you get a chance, stop by my blog for a few recipes that I'm posting this week!
I'm just now catching up on your blog and OH MY WORD. First of all, I feel famous--thanks! Secondly, my pot pie never actually looks that good, but it does taste that good. lastly, I'm glad to hear about Rob going back to work! I know that takes a huge load off. I'll continue to pray for a completely healed arm and forever fabulous chicken pot pies for all!!!
Robin
Barb I'll have to say a thank you, thank you, thank you, for the chicken pot pie. For so long I have been looking for a pot pie recipe that has bottom and top crust. Most recipes only have either the top or the bottom and I never knew if you should cook the bottom first or what. This looks wonderful and I can't wait until after Thanksgiving to try a turkey pot pie with it.
I have gotten so far behind on reading everyone's blogs because we have been having internet problems here plus Jerry has been on vacation and spending time with him. So I have been catching up on yours today. I am so sorry that Cameron is cutting teeth, I know that is so hard on him and his parents. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon.
I am so sorry that Rob was hurt at work but he is very lucky is wasn't worse. Getting hit in the head like that is dangerous. And the little turkey he got is very nice of the company, even most really big company's don't do that anymore. Jerry hasn't gotten a turkey or ham from the company in probably 10 or more years now. So he works for a very generous company.
I thought this looked so good -- I had been wanting to try a home-made chicken pot pie for long time, so I was glad to see it. I just made it Friday and posted my picture -- not quote as pretty as yours. :) Where do you find those cute little pie cut-outs?
I also posted the recipe for that Harvest Loaf Cake as well
