taisen's chicken pot pie
- 2 frozen pie crusts or you can make your own
- 7 to 8 thawed chicken tenders ( you can use any chicken pieces you like )
- 2 small frozen bags of peas and carrots
- 2 medium potatoes ( more if your making it with these on both pies )
- 1 can family can ( 1lb 10 oz) of cream of chicken soup
- 2 chicken bullion cubes
- 1 bisquick mix ( I used 2 cups but it was more then I needed)
- 1 cup milk ( but I ended up using a bit more )
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp melted butter
- 1 salt to taste
- 1 pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp butter. ( for the peas and carrots )
- 1 season salt ( about 5 sprinkles or so )
- 1 onion powder ( since my kids don't like onion )
- 1 garlic powder
- 1 small amount of red pepper
- 1 poultry seasoning
- the first thing I do is thaw the chicken.
- if have fresh chicken skip this
- get 3 pots ready.
- in one pot add the 2 bags of peas and carrots.
- add enough water to almost cover them.
- then add in 3 tablespoons of butter ( or less if you desire ).
- add in onion powder, pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, and season salt.
- turn heat up to medium high.
- turn it low once it starts to boil.
- simmer it but don't let it get mushy.
- you can turn off the heat but keep a little warm.
- in another pot add in 2 of the bullion cubes and sprinkle some poultry seasoning.
- add in the chicken.
- then add water to cover the chicken.
- turn heat on and cook until the chicken is done.
- while those two are cooking.
- take your potatoes , peel and rinse.
- slice them length wise.
- then slice those in half.
- then cut into chunks.
- or anyway you want.
- get them into a pot.
- add water to cover add in a bit of pepper.
- boil for about 10 to 15 minutes or less if you like them more firm
- to make the crust ( my first attempt for this ) I used 2 cups of bisquick, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of melted butter.
- since it was to thick I added a little extra butter and milk to it.
- stir very well.
- this was the top crust
- if using frozen pie crusts pull them out to thaw for at least 15 minutes
- once the chicken is done pull it out of the pot to cool down so you can cut it into pieces
- preheat your oven to 375
- drain your potatoes.
- drain liquid from the peas and carrots.
- pull apart the chicken
- in a bowl big enough to add everything start adding the peas, carrots, chicken and the cream of chicken.
- stir.
- if it is to thick add a little bit of milk at a time until you reach desired constancy
- you can now start to fill these pies!
- you can also taste and add in extra seasoning if you like.
- I didn't add my potatoes to one pie so one had them and the other didn't.
- after filling the pies take the bisquick mixture and carefully put on top.
- take both pies and put them on a cookie sheet.
- stick in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
- keep an eye on them though so they don't burn.
- pull them out when done.
- let them settle for about 5 minutes or so then start cutting and making plates.
- enjoy!
