Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Crust
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (usually 2 crusts)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the casserole.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the casserole: Grease a casserole dish and pour the chicken mixture evenly inside it.
- Add the pie crust: Unroll one of the refrigerated pie crusts and carefully place it over the top of the chicken mixture in the casserole dish.
- Trim and vent the crust: Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges and cut several slits in the crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked chicken or leftover roasted chicken for best flavor.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables if desired.
- For a richer sauce, use whole milk or add a splash of cream.
- Ensure to cut slits on the pie crust to prevent it from becoming soggy and to release steam.
- Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for 2-3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
