This easy chicken pot pie is one of the first recipes I got down as a newlywed. I’ve been making this easy version for 17 years on busy weeknights. The best part is the recipe calls for all the convenient ingredients like rotisserie chicken, store bought biscuits and frozen veggies. While I don’t think this version replaces traditional chicken pot pie in a homemade buttery crust, I do think when you’re low on time and energy but still need a delicious meal on the table it certainly fits the bill. This chicken pot pie recipe includes onions, corn, peas, carrots and shredded rotisserie chicken in a thick and luscious gravy that comes together in about thirty minutes but tastes like it took hours to prepare. Store bought biscuits act as a crust and can either be laid open and ladled with the filling or just served on the side.
One way to save even more time is to use a vegetable chopper for the onions. The vegetable chopper is my number one selling item on amazon. It’s truly a tool I can’t live without. And if you ever decide you want to make my white chicken chili, you’re definitely going to want to have it as that recipe calls for onion, bell pepper, poblano pepper and jalapenos. The chopper takes 1/15 of the time dicing with a knife takes. Plus, you get a beautiful even dice on each vegetable. Side note, that white chicken chili is another easy weeknight meal idea that utilizes rotisserie chicken!
