Easy Chicken Pie For A Crowd
A hearty, comforting chicken pie packed with vegetables and creamy soups, perfect for feeding a crowd with savory flavors and a flaky crust. Ideal for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large casserole dish, layer the drained cooked chicken, canned mixed vegetables, and soups mixed with chicken broth.
- In a separate bowl, mix Bisquick with milk until smooth.
- Pour the Bisquick mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the casserole dish.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the crust is done.
- Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker filling, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the soups before mixing with the broth. You can substitute the mixed vegetables with fresh chopped veggies like carrots and peas for a fresher taste. For a twist, try using leftover Zesty Chicken instead of plain stewed chicken to enhance flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this chicken pie with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with a light Chardonnay or a refreshing iced tea. For a heartier option, consider serving alongside a portion of Squash And Broccoli Casserole for a comforting dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen vegetables instead of canned?
Absolutely! Frozen mixed vegetables work well and can add a fresher flavor. Just ensure they are thawed and drained before layering them in the casserole to avoid excess moisture, which can make the pie soggy.
What can I use if I don't have Bisquick?
You can make your own baking mix by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will provide a similar texture and flavor to the Bisquick in the recipe.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the chicken pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake it. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it's coming straight from the fridge.
