Creamy Chicken Pot Pie w/ a Flakey Crust

Here's the Dish

I was in the mood for some comfort food, so I got the phyllo dough out, along with some chicken, cream of chicken soup, and a bag of mixed veggies! I had a long day, and knew I wanted to make something quick and easy to prepare…and of course something warm and filling~ perfect for a chilly fall day! The filling of this pot pie turned out creamy and flavorful, and the crust was unbelievably flakey! I subbed cream of chicken soup and sour cream for the traditional ‘milk, flour and butter’ to make the filling just as creamy- with out all of the simple carbs and fat…And of course I used phyllo dough as the crust, which is a wonderfully light and flakey variation to the ‘traditional pie crust’, which is often heavy and full of unwanted calories!

*Note: This pot-pie recipe can be made into individual pies, or more ‘traditionally’ in a medium sized baking dish.

Method

The estimated total time to make this recipe is 45 Minutes.

1

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a medium baking dish, (or 6 individual baking dishes), with cooking spray and set aside.

2

Spray a large nonstick skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, cook the chicken and onion for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Transfer the onions and chicken to a large bowl.

3

Add the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, mixed veggies and seasonings to the bowl with the chicken and onions.  Stir until everything is well combined. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish, (or divide evenly between the 6 individual dishes).

4

Unwrap and un-roll the phyllo dough so the sheets are laying in flat stack. Lay all 10 sheets of phyllo dough on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish to make the ‘crust’ layer.  (If using individual dishes, cut phyllo dough into 6 squares and lay one square on top of each individual baking dish.) Spray the entire top layer of phyllo dough with butter spray (or cooking spray). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until phyllo dough is golden brown.

This looks like a perfect meal for a cold evening!! I wonder if you could replace the chicken with beans or something to make a veggie pot pie. Hmm…

i am wondering how large of a baking dish you mean, would a 9 by 13 baker work? or a pie plate?

I’m hoping to make this tomorrow and wanted to know if you thawed the dough first or used it straight from the freezer? Thanks!

Made this two days ago because I was craving fattening food. It worked. It was so good and I felt like I was cheating. Another homerun Ms. Katie. Thanks again for your God inspired recipes.

great question robyn! i actually de-thawed it first bc if you dont, it tends to crack and break apart when frozen! you can microwave it…but i think its best to leave out at room temp for a few hrs! :)
