A hearty, comforting chicken pot pie with creamy soups, mixed vegetables, and a biscuit topping, perfect for family dinners and cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, water, and Veg-All in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a cup of shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute the cream of soups with homemade versions using low-sodium broth and pureed vegetables. You can also use frozen mixed vegetables instead of Veg-All for more variety. For added flavor, season the chicken with herbs like thyme or rosemary before mixing it in.
Serving Suggestions
Delicious Chicken Pot Pie is perfect served warm straight from the oven. Consider pairing it with a crisp garden salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A side of mashed potatoes can also complement the dish well. For a twist, serve it alongside Sweet And Sour Apricot Glazed Chicken for a delightful dinner spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pot pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal, but the oven method helps maintain the crust's crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use leftover chicken for this recipe?
Absolutely! Using leftover chicken is a great way to save time and add flavor. Just make sure to shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces before mixing it into the filling. This recipe is very forgiving and works well with various types of pre-cooked chicken.
What can I substitute for Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a homemade version by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix in 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening or margarine until crumbly. This will give you a similar texture for the topping.
How can I make this dish vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, simply replace the chicken with your favorite plant-based protein, like tofu or chickpeas, and use vegetable broth instead of water. You can also add more vegetables such as mushrooms or spinach to enhance the flavor and texture.
