On a rainy or cold day, comfort food is a good way to chase away the chill and gloom. One of my favorite comfort foods is chicken pot pie, but you’re probably saying “That’s a lot of work!” You could buy a frozen pot pie, but I’m going to give you a recipe so easy, you won’t ever do that again! I could totally see Maisy from Trapping a Terrorist making something like this on a rainy Seattle day.
Ingredients
- 1 package Crescent Rolls (such as Pillsbury Crescent Rolls)
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (such as Campbell’s Mushroom Soup)
1/2 cup half-n-half or milk (whichever you have handy)
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1/4 cup minced celery
1/2 cup minced onion or leek (whichever you have handy)
1 tbsp butter
3 cups shredded chicken meat (your local store rotisserie chicken is perfect for this)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease two small crockpots. Mine measure 5.25 X 2.5 inches and hold about 2 cups each of filling.
Open the crescent roll container. Lay it out and you will notice there are four square pieces that are cut diagonally. You don’t want to separate them along the diagonal.
Separate them so that you have four square pieces. Place one square in the bottom of each of the crockpots and gently spread them a little. They will likely not cover the entire sides, but that’s okay.
In a large bowl, microwave the peas and carrots for about three minutes. Add the chicken, cream of mushroom soup, and half-n-half/milk.
In a small pan, add the tablespoon of butter and saute the onion/leek and celery until just soft. Add this to the mixture in the bowl. (You can skip this step if want, but I like the flavor of the celery and onion in the pot pie.)
Mix everything well and spoon on top of the crescent roll in the crockpot.
Cover the mixture in the crockpot with the other square of crescent roll that remains. Stretch it a bit as you do so. Again, it will likely not cover the entire surface and that’s okay.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. After 30 minutes, cover with foil and bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool a bit. The inside filling will be very hot, especially around the edges.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
