Pop quiz time, everyone: raise your hand if you’ve ever had chicken pot pie.
OK, good. Now, if the chicken pot pie you had was a little single-serving thing that came out of a box in the freezer, put your hand down again. Because you haven’t really had chicken pot pie.
A homemade chicken pot pie is a thing of beauty. It’s a savory blend of chicken, veggies, and potatoes, smothered in a rich, creamy gravy…all baked into a crisp, flaky, golden crust.
Now maybe if you’re a vegetarian, or you share your home with one, you might think you need to settle for frozen pot pies because you can’t make a homemade chicken pot pie without the chicken. Never fear! All you need is a good chicken substitute, like Morning Star Chicken Strips, and some veggie broth to make the gravy. All the other ingredients – taters, veggies, and TLC – are just the same.
Don’t believe me? Just try it and see. This recipe makes two potpies, so you can do one meat and one veggie, or you can make one and freeze the other for later. Then you get the best of both worlds – a homemade pie that needs no work except heating up.
NOTE: This recipe makes 2 pies. If you are only wanting 1, cut ingredients in half.
