Chicken Pot Pie can be made in many different ways. This version was made primarily from cans of food that I found while organizing my kitchen cabinets and determining what was on hand. Challenging times sometimes require a pantry challenge. This recipe for Chicken Pot Pie is perfect to make during a Pantry Challenge, but it’s also simple enough for a weeknight.
I posted a recipe for Turkey Pot Pie back in 2015. That recipe made use of Thanksgiving leftovers, and the “crust” was made by mixing biscuit mix, milk and eggs with seasonings. This chicken pot pie is made from mostly canned ingredients and uses a tube of refrigerated crescent rolls for the crust on top.
What will you need to prepare this recipe?
From the Pantry:
- olive oil
- canned mixed vegetables
- condensed cream of chicken soup
- condensed cream of mushroom soup
- canned chicken breast
From the Refrigerator:
- crescent roll dough
From the Root Cellar:
- yellow, white, or brown onion
Our Chicken Pot Pie is simple to prepare, and it’s delicious. Everyone in my household loved it and went back for seconds. While this recipe could probably serve eight, I suggest that you only plan on serving it to four because your family will want seconds. (That’s what happened in our house. Sue Chef and I only had one serving, but Baker’s Man and the boys ate two servings each.)

- 1 10.75oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup ($1.09)

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large, deep skillet.

- Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture comes to a boil.
- Pour chicken and vegetable mixture into a 7X11 inch pan. (I had to use 9X9 because it was the only pan that would fit in my toaster oven.)
- Open package of crescent roll dough and press seams together and stretch the dough so it will cover the top of the chicken and vegetable filling.
- Carefully place the dough on top of the filling and press it to the sides of the pan to prevent shrinkage.

I love how all your recipes have cost per serving and nutritional information included. It is great information for people trying to cook healthier food so a budget.
Thank you. I have considered not including both of them in the recipes because it’s a lot of extra work, but if it helps one person, then I suppose it’s worth the extra effort.
Your chicken pot pie recipe looks easy to make. Sounds good! I love that it’s easy to make, too.
This recipe is very easy to make which works out well on a busy weeknight when I come home tired. I read on your website that you’re on a heart healthy diet, so you’ve inspired me to remake some of these recipes using lower sodium ingredients.
