Easy Peasy Chicken Pot Pie

This is my quick and easy chicken pot pie recipe. One that I tweaked from an original that my mother gave me one day while I was trying to figure out what to feed my bottomless pit of a husband.


Thanks mom!


Easy Peasy Chicken Pot Pie


You'll need:
1 can - Peas and Carrots
1 can - Diced Potatoes
1 can - Cream of Chicken Soup
1 package - Pie Crusts (the rolls of dough, not the preformed stuff)
1 package - Pre-Cooked Cubes of Chicken


1 casserole dish with a lid


That's it!


*Note: I've made this on the fly before when I had no peas, carrots or anything else canned in the house. You can always substitute frozen veggies (I've used broccoli before) instead. Also, if you don't have diced potatoes, you can always use Cream of Potato Soup (with potato chunks in it) instead.*


Open one package of the pie crust dough (there should be two in there!), and cover the bottom and sides of your dish. If that doesn't quite cover it (mine is a 6x9 oval and one package doesn't quite do it) then get out the second package and cut enough to cover it. Keep in mind that the sides don't have to be covered to the top of your dish, just maybe 3/4 of the way.


Now, add in the:
  1. Cream of Chicken Soup
  2. Peas & Carrots
  3. Diced Potatoes, and
  4. Chicken


And mix...



Then, take  the rest of your dough (you should have at least 3/4 of a roll left) and cut into strips. Then cover the top of your pie :)


Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes.


Enjoy!

I'm sure you could make this prettier, or with chicken you cooked... potatoes you cooked and diced... but that wouldn't be Easy Peasy!

Hooded Toddler Towel




Too cute right?
(Don't mind My Buddy :) )



I love these towels (J obviously isn't sporting this sweet, pink one). I got the idea from Ashley's blog Make It & Love It. I made a University of Florida inspired bear one for a friend and I made a dinosaur one for J. *Update*This sweet pink one is hanging out at my Etsy shop :)


Wal-Mart has all of their "college" towels on sale right now. These huge, super soft, brightly colored (I can go on...) towels are only $3 - and the hand towels are $3 for 2.

They are way better than those paper thin towels I got at my baby shower and they actually dry my kid off :)
