Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Separate crescent dinner rolls into 8 triangles and place 2 triangles, one on top of the other; press slightly. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place the dough triangles on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 9 to 12 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, heat cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed vegetables, and poultry seasoning until bubbly.
- Fold in drained chunk chicken.
- Spoon the hot mixture into a 12 x 18-inch baking dish.
- Place the baked dough triangles on top of the mixture.
- Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken instead of canned chicken. You can also swap out the frozen mixed vegetables for fresh ones if you prefer. If you're short on time, use a store-bought pie crust instead of crescent rolls. To enhance the dish, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the filling ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Chicken Puff Pie with a side salad for a light meal or pair it with roasted vegetables for a heartier option. It also goes well with a bowl of Cream Of Corn And Crab Soup for a comforting dinner. Consider offering a light dessert like fruit salad to round out the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Chicken Puff Pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain the flakiness of the crust while warming the filling evenly.
