Updated Chicken Pot Pie

- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces (about 3 medium-large breasts)
- 1 (16 ounce) bag stir fry vegetables (or any mixed vegetables, I use broccoli stir fry)
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (I use 98% fat free)
- 4 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into small cubes (Velveeta made with 2% milk saves some calories and fat)
- 1 (17 1/3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry (you will only need one sheet)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in frozen vegetables, soup, and Velveeta. Stir until the Velveeta is melted.
- Spoon into a greased 8x8 baking dish.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Unfold the pastry sheet, and place it over the chicken mixture. Fold the edges of the pastry under itself, inside the lip of the dish, and press the pastry somewhat against the edges of the dish to seal (if you can - I am never super successful at doing this, mine always kinda "floats" on top of the chicken mixture).
- Brush the top of the pastry with an egg.
- Cut several slits in the pastry to permit steam to escape.
- Place the dish on a baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I have tried this same recipe before i found it on this site via one of my supermarket checkout recipe books ala impulsive buy. I found it on here and have to save to my permanent recipe book on here because it is super great! With a family of 6 and everyone picky this was a crowd pleaser. I usually double the recipe for leftovers are usually wanted. I use a bag of florentine style veggies and made sure after subsequent tries to not use the whole roll of phylo as I did the first time....*chuckle*. This makes a great weeknight meal as it was fast and easy to prepare and not a lot to cleanup. Served with a salad this is a filling, tasty meal!

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
