Chicken Pot Pie

This was very good!! I remember as a kid though picking off the top of my chicken pot pie and that's exactly what my kids did...all of them!! But it was easy to throw together and the taste was so yummy on a cold fall day! John really liked it! I got the recipe from Everyone's Gotta Eat! She has a lot of things I want to try!!

Filling:
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
1/2 cup onion
2 cups mixed frozen vegetables
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup {just realized I left this out on accident and it still tasted great!}
1/2 - 3/4 cup chicken broth
Combine and place in lightly greased 13x9 baking dish.
Crust:
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (recipe below)
Combine and pour evenly over filling.Bake at 350° for about 1 hour or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.

Self-rising flour ~
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Combine. Makes about 2 cups

Again I doubled the filling of soup and veggies, except the onions, and added about four potatoes, cubed ~ I always remember pot pie having potatoes! Then I made the crust as directed and poured over the top! I also did use a little bit bigger casserole dish that I have since I doubled it to hold everything and not have it bubble over everywhere! It was a filling meal in itself so I just served it along with root beer floats...a drink and dessert in one!!

Glad you liked it. My blog also has a great copycat recipe for Olive Garden Salad Dressing that I found online. It's waaaaay yummy!

What size pan did you use? I wouldn't have been able to double my filling, my 13x9 pan almost overflows as it is.

Happy cooking!

I have three teenage sons and two daughters so I always make two pans. My hub likes the leftovers too :)
