Instructions
Cook chicken and then dice into bite sized pieces. Mix chicken, soup, and vegetables. Fill bottom of pie crust with filling and cover with remaining crust. Don't forget to crimp your edges and vent your top crust or else you'll end up with a big ole mess. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-45 minutes depending on your oven. Everything inside is precooked, so you're basically looking for a golden brown crust.

I love to make this recipe. I typically grill my chicken instead of just boiling or pan frying it. The grilling of the meat adds a whole new level of flavor to the dish. If you notice for the vegetables, I said 1 bag or 1/3 of a bag, I always buy the larger family sized bags of frozen foods. So, I only use about a third of the large bag per pie. Feel free to make your own crusts, but since I've been more about quick and easy lately, I use the two crust box of Pillsbury Pie Crusts (rolled not folded). Play with the recipe all you want. I've tried cream of mushroom soup, different kinds of veggies, etc. You can't really mess this one up so have fun.

This would be a 5 from us. Jason love potpies and this allows me an outlet for my creative needs instead of just buying those small individually box potpies.
