My revised recipe for easier, meal-in-one chicken pot pies using Bird’s Eye Recipe Ready Stew Blend, canned chicken gravy, canned chunk chicken breast, and refrigerated roll-out pie crust. NOTE: TWO 14 1/2 OZ. CANS CHICKEN GRAVY EQUALS 3 1/2 CUPS — OR THREE 10 OZ. CANS. TWO 12 OZ. CANS CHUNK CHICKEN YIELDS ABOUT 3 CUPS. CANNED CHUNK TURKEY AND TURKEY GRAVY, OR CANNED BEEF CHUNKS AND BEEF GRAVY MAY BE SUBSTITUTED.
Ingredients: [‘frozen vegetables’, ‘chicken gravy’, ‘chicken breasts’, ‘pie crusts’]
Quantity of Ingredients: [“3 cups frozen vegetables (Birdu0027s Eye Recipe Ready Stew Blend)”,”2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken gravy (3 1/2 cups)”,”2 (12 ounce) cans chunk chicken breasts, in water “,”1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated roll-out pie crusts”]
Number of Servings: 5
Steps: [‘NOTE: IF YOU USE DICED CHICKEN OTHER THAN CANNED CHICKEN IN BROTH — YOU WILL NEED TO ADD AT LEAST 1 CUP CHICKEN BROTH OR EXTRA GRAVY!’, ‘PREHEAT oven to 425°F; SELECT 5-6 ovenproof bowls or ramekins to hold 1 1/2 cups filling, leaving at least 1 inch space free below bowl rims.’, “PLACE 3 cups Bird’s Eye Recipe Ready Stew Blend frozen vegetables into a 2 1/2 quart pot (Note: If you like green beans and/or corn in your pot pie you can replace a portion of the stew blend with these); COVER with 2 inches hot water; HEAT to boiling; BOIL 2-3 minutes.”, ‘QUICKLY drain, then return vegetables to pot; ADD the chicken gravy (scrape cans using a flexible spatula).’, “FOLD in the canned chicken including the liquid, until just blended (don’t over-stir to keep the chicken in perfect chunks!).”, ‘UNROLL pie dough and place one segment on a floured surface; PLACE inverted bakeware bowls or ramekins over dough; TRACE a knife around edge of bowls to cut circles; REPEAT with remaining dough to yield 6 even circular crusts (re-roll dough scraps if necessary).’, ‘ARRANGE bowls on baking sheets; SPRAY bowl interiors with non-stick cooking spray; POUR 1 1/2 cups filling into bowls, distributing evenly.’, ‘PLACE then press dough circles over filling to cover, levelly to the edges of baking dish (see photo); SPRAY dough crust tops well with non-stick cooking spray for even browning; CUT slits around the center of each prepared pastry to vent.’, ‘BAKE 30 minutes on center rack — or until golden brown (NOTE: For an enhanced golden color, spray crusts again with non-stick cooking spray during the final 10 minutes of baking). ALLOW pies to cool slightly before serving.’, ‘SERVE and enjoy.’]
