Cream Of Chicken Soup Pot Pie

Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken

Yes! Rotisserie chicken is my second choice to use in this recipe after chicken thighs. Rotisserie chicken comes lightly seasoned for an added depth of flavor and is a mix of both light and dark meat. It also comes perfectly tender and ready to slurp up.

To use rotisserie chicken, shred the chicken, discarding the bones and add about 3 cups shredded chicken to the soup at the end with the peas to warm through. If using rotisserie chicken, youll skip the salt and pepper used in the beginning of the recipe to season the chicken and season to taste at the end of cooking.

Ingredients For Easy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

• chicken breasts boneless, skinless chicken breast, or leftover rotisserie chicken works great!
• frozen mixed vegetables, onion and garlic frozen veggies work great here, the only chopping youll do is the onions and garlic.
• cream of chicken soup, milk, cheddar cheese perfect to make an easy creamy gravy for this pie.
• pie crust take a shortcut and use a pre-made pie crust.
• garlicsalt, pepper, olive oil for seasoning and to saute the vegetables.

Storing And Reheating Left Overs

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. Store in an air tight container. Generally speaking, these reheat very well.

We recommend reheating these in an air fryer for best results. Three or four can be reheated together at 375 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes.

If you dont have an air fryer, reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Can I Freeze Chicken Pot Pie Soup

As a general rule of thumb, creamy soups do not freeze well as the texture can become unpleasantly grainy as the dairy and fat separate. You can still freeze the soup with these expectations, or omit the half and half when freezing, then add the half and half to the soup after thawing then you will have no problem. Alternatively, you can swap the half and half for evaporated milk .

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup

This creamy chicken pot pie soup has ALL THE FLAVORS I hoped it would. The ones I remembered being tucked inside walls of pie crust as a kid. Creamy, garlicky, comforty. but with a few tricks, and because its not tucked inside walls of pie crust, you can have a huge bowl! And easily make it dairy free if needed!

Of course if you DO want to bury this creamy skillet in pie crust, I support that with all my heart. Just lay some on top and bake until a lovely golden brown! Other easy options are some puff pastry, or store bought biscuit dough placed in rounds on top. But for the sake of the macros provided below, this is just calculated as soup. That way you can bake up some buttery biscuits on the side, and better preserve all of your leftovers. OR go a little lighter with a hunk of crusty bread, or keep it tight with a giant veggie-packed bowl paired with a salad. OPTIONS.

We experimented with some phyllo dough draped on top to give it a lightened up crust. But the problem was, moistened by the soup, it was never able to get crispy. It was delicious, and we still loved it! But I didnt write the recipe to include it because you know.

Crust should be crusty.

But if you experiment with it, maybe drape it over the pan so it doesnt touch the soup! Let me know what you find.

How To Freeze It

When I freeze my Chicken Pot Pie Soup straight out of the crock pot, I like to portion it out in to individual servings. This way its easy to grab one from the freezer to heat up for a quick lunch or dinner on a busy weeknight.

Store it in an airtight container and freeze for up to 6 months.

And if youre a meal prep pro like me, I like to bake the pie crust a few days ahead, crumble it up and store it in a zip top bag so it saves me an extra step right before meal time.

Chicken Pot Pie Soup Ingredients

• Butter: Salted or unsalted butter works fine.
• Yellow onion: White onion may be substituted.
• Garlic: If needed bottled garlic will work too.
• Celery: I like to chop these up somewhat thin. Every now and then you get a batch that seems to take forever to cook to a tender bite.
• Carrots: When cutting larger carrots I like to quarter through the length and then dice.
• Low-sodium chicken broth:Homemade is a great option here if you have some in the freezer.
• Russet potatoes: If what youve got are red or yellow potatoes those can be used as well.
• Herbs: Here I like the blend of thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and parsley. Fresh or dried work great.
• Salt and pepper: Youll likely find soup needs a fair amount of salt or it can taste a little flat.
• Flour: This is used to thicken the soup. If you need to replace with something else the soup can be thickened with a cornstarch slurry .
• Milk and heavy cream: If you want the soup a little lighter you could try replacing the cream with more milk, it just wont be quite as rich.
• Peas: I like the sweeter flavor of petite peas best but any will do, even canned if needed .
• Corn: Again petite corn is best. Canned corn will work if thats what you have .
• Cooked chicken: Leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken or even shredded turkey works great.

What To Serve With Chicken Pot Pie

I know I said that chicken pot pie is by itself a complete meal, but why not transform this simple dinner into a lip-smackingly good feast. There are many flavors that go well with this dish, you will never run out of things to pair it with. Here are some of my favorite options:

• Cranberry sauce gives this meal a Thanksgiving feel anytime of year. But Im not talking about that dreadful stuff from the can. You can whip up fresh, homemade cranberry sauce in no time.

Combine 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Add in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop. Generally takes about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and pour the cranberry sauce in a bowl. Will thicken as it cools. Add a few pinches of cinnamon for an extra tasty combo.

• A light salad is a nice way to counter-balance the richness of the pie. Your choice of leafy greens topped with citrus oranges and berries, rich cheese, crunchy nuts, and drizzled with tangy balsamic vinaigrette makes a spectacular side to your chicken pot pie.

• Roasted broccoli is another side that will lighten up your heavy main dish. Give these veggies some extra flavor by coating it with olive oil and Parmesan cheese.

• Sweet potatoes give a nice contrast to your savory dinner. Flavor it with cinnamon, butter, and your choice of seasonings and bake. Simple and delicious.

Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients

• 1 10 oz. can Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup
• 2 1/2 cups shredded roasted chicken
• butter
• 1/2 cup water, or chicken broth
• garlic powder, salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

To ensure your potpie cooks evenly, be sure to preheat your oven to 425 degrees. This will make this dish cook thoroughly and create that golden flaky crust!

Next, you will place 1 pie crust sheet that has been defrosted for 15 minutes in the bottom of the 9-inch pie plate. Set this aside so it is ready to pour your filling.

Now, over medium heat, melt butter in a medium saucepan.

Add onions and cook uncovered until soft and translucent. This should take about 5 minutes or so.

Add soup and water , and stir until hot and a little bubbly. I like to use a wooden spoon for this cooking step because it is better for the pan and also makes me feel like I am cooking a homemade meal!

A healthy way to get your daily servings of vegetables is by having frozen vegetables on hand for cooking quick meals like our pot pie recipe, soup, or pasta dishes.

This recipe uses one bag of frozen mixed vegetables and now is the step to add them to your saucepan. Stir to incorporate into the soup mixture until nice hot.

There is nothing easier or quicker for a hearty meal than grabbing a rotisserie chicken at the store. I throw one of these in my shopping cart at least once a week to save time.

In this instance, I just shred up the meat and add it to the pot with spices and simmer it until it starts to bubble.

Can I Use Vegetable Broth Instead

I do not recommend vegetable broth because it does not have the chicken flavor which is crucial in this chicken pot pie soup recipe. That doesnt mean you cant use vegetable broth, but it does mean the soup will not taste rich and flavorful. If you do use chicken broth, then you may want to add additional chicken bouillon, but taste as you go because you dont want to make your soup too salty!
