Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine cream of potato soup, milk, seasoned salt, chopped chicken, thawed and drained vegetables, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, and 1/2 can French fried onions in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish.
- Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
- Unwrap the crescent rolls.
- Separate the crescent rolls into two triangles.
- Press together the perforated edges of each triangle to form a square.
- Cut each square into 3 strips.
- Arrange the strips on top of the filling to form a lattice pattern.
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese and onions on top of the lattice.
- Bake uncovered for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a bit of sour cream or cream cheese. You can substitute the frozen vegetable mix with fresh vegetables like asparagus or peas for a fresher taste. If you're short on time, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can be a great shortcut, similar to what's used in many chicken recipes.
Serving Suggestions
This Lattice Top Chicken Pie is delicious when served with a side salad or some roasted vegetables. You might also enjoy it alongside mashed potatoes for a heartier meal. For a refreshing twist, pair it with a light lemon vinaigrette salad, enhancing the flavors similar to those found in Lemon Chicken Slow Cooked.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. For best results, cover with foil to keep the crust from over-browning.
