Chicken Pot Pie Recipe Substitutions And Additions

CANNED VS FRESH: You can substitute the canned ingredients with fresh or frozen and thawed ingredients; you’ll just need to make sure they are cooked before including them in this dish. 

CHICKEN: You can use any leftover chicken you’d like in this easy recipe. Rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breasts are great options. You could even use leftover turkey if you have that on hand.

POTATOES: You can substitute the frozen hashbrowns with fresh diced potatoes in this savory pie; just make sure you cook them before including them in this dish.

ONION: You can substitute the onion powder with fresh minced onion that has been sauteed.

CREAM: If you don’t have any heavy cream on hand, you can substitute whole milk or half and half.

CREAM SOUP: Any cream soup works fine in this recipe. Instead of cream of celery soup, you can use cream of broccoli soup or cream of mushroom soup.

DOUGH: You can substitute the pizza dough with croissant dough. You’ll want to pinch the seams of the croissants together to create one large sheet of dough. 

How To Make Chicken Pot Pie

Making this simple recipe is even quicker and easier than making a traditional pot pie. 

All you need to do is mix up the creamy filling before pouring it into the dish. Lay the pizza dough on top, brush with garlic butter, and bake. 

Follow these step-by-step instructions, and you’ll have dinner in no time.

STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

STEP TWO: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, carrots, peas, corn, and potatoes.

STEP THREE: Stir in cream of chicken, cream of celery, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and heavy cream until well combined. 

STEP FOUR: Spread the chicken mixture evenly along the bottom of your casserole dish and place your pizza crust over the mixture. 

STEP FIVE: Using a fork, tuck the sides of the pizza dough down along the sides of the casserole dish.

STEP SIX: In a small bowl or cup, combine the garlic powder with the melted butter and lightly brush it over the pizza dough, making sure not to miss any spots.

STEP SEVEN: Bake the casserole uncovered for 30 minutes or until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is heated throughout.

STEP EIGHT: Serve warm.
