Cooking Instructions
Follow these steps to create your chicken pot pie:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Assemble the Pie:
Place the bottom pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the crust.
Cover with the top pie crust. Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
