Nell's Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Recipe #113442 | 50 min | 30 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: TxBluebonnet

My hairdresser gave me this recipe years ago and I've made it so many times that I've come to think of it as my own. I've never served it to anyone who didn't like it. It's important that you use the combination of soups as listed or the gravy won't taste the same and the monterey jack cheese adds such a creamy taste without being overwhelmingly cheesy. If you prefer a bottom crust, you may use a second can of the crescent rolls. I ususally just use a top crust. The prep time is just an estimate since I usually cut up the ingredients early in the day and put in plastic baggies in the fridge.

    This turned out really well! I loved this quick dish that completely worked out well for me. I don't have canned vegetables, I had frozen but other then that didn't change anything. I didn't use a bottom either, just the crescent dough. This does make a good amount, I used this for Saturday Lunch at the Farm and it served 6 large men. Thank you so much for a great tasting treat that fed everyone and filled all the empty spots in hungry stomachs. Made for PAC April 2008

    This was great, but I used the recommendations from a previous person to drain some of the water from the vegetables and bring the mixture to a boil before putting it in the baking dish. Though I liked the recipe otherwise as is, next time I will add a couple minced cloves of real garlic instead of garlic powder and I might try using thawed frozen vegetables instead of canned. My husband's favorite part of this was the crust. It's much better than the bisquick version.

    This was so easy to put together. I used a bottom crust that turned out very soggy, not done at all. Next time I'm going to try baking the bottom crust first before adding the chicken mixture. I will also use frozen mixed veggies because I think the juice from the can veggies left a bit of an after taste. I'll also add additional spices to spice it up a tad. All in all we enjoyed this tonight. I wish I had my camera with me because it presents very well. It makes a lot. Thanks TXBluebonnet for a really nice recipe.

    This was really good. I used dried minced onion and paprika in place of the pepper as my husband won't eat either fresh/cooked. I also used frozen mixed veggies in place of canned and added some water to them. It turned out really well.
