Nell's Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Recipe #113442 | 50 min | 30 min prep | add private note

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 usually 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.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced

  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans mixed vegetables, do not drain
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated

Wonderful recipe! Yes, i made a few changes to satisfy my own pantry. Like many other readers, i used frozen veggies (16 oz), and cooked them in the microwave for 8 minutes first. Added a can of milk to the soup mixture to replace the can juices, and threw in some roasted red peppers from a jar i had in the fridge. Fast, easy, versatile and YUMMY!

    This was a very good recipe for my two toddlers. I used garlic and herb flavored frozen veggies since I din't have any canned, and it turned out well. I think it might be a bit bland if I had not added the extra flavor. I also needed to cook it for an additional 7-8 minutes to get it to be cooked through. Great recipe for kids!

    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.
