The Secret to Quick Pot Pies
Instead of making homemade crust, this recipe uses crescent roll dough for a buttery, flaky shell. Combine that with a creamy chicken filling and a topping of golden strips, and you’ve got a shortcut dinner that tastes homemade without the fuss.
Serving Ideas and Variations
- Pair with a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
- Add extra herbs (thyme or parsley) for more flavor.
- Swap in turkey or ham if you want a twist on the classic chicken version.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces cream of chicken soup
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 3 packages crescent rolls (seams sealed)
- 9 ounces frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1 cup shredded chicken
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat
Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray muffin tins with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Prep Dough
Roll crescent dough flat, pinch seams together, and cut 12 rounds with a biscuit cutter.
Step 3: Form Crusts
Press each round into the muffin tin, covering the bottom and sides.
Step 4: Make Filling
In a bowl, mix soup, chicken stock, vegetables, and shredded chicken until combined.
Step 5: Fill & Top
Spoon filling into each crust (don’t overfill). Cut dough into strips and lay across the tops.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if browning too fast.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let cool, loosen with a knife, and serve warm.
