I always like the idea of chicken pie or any kind of savory pies. When you are baking it the whole house just filled with the sweet scent of the pie and when you dig into this dish it never fails to please. This is a very easy recipe which anyone can make. I used the store bought pie crust and you can either use the short crust or puff pastry.
Ingredients :
2 pcs of pie crust
2 cups of cooked chicken meat
2 carrots - cut into small cubes
2 stalk of celery - cut into small cubes
1 cup of green peas
1 potatoes - cut into cubes
1/2 onions - finely diced
1 cloves of garlic
1 can of low sodium cream of chicken or mushroom soup
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg - beaten
1) Heat up the pan and lightly brown the onion and garlic. Then add in the celery and carrots, saute for 2 minutes.
2) Add in cream of chicken or mushroom soup and add in about 2 cups of water. Mixed well and bring to boil and add in the potatoes. Continue to simmer until potatoes soften and add in the chicken and green peas.
3) Stir well, cook until sauce thickens. Check seasoning. Dish out and let it cool.
4) Pre-heat the oven to 375 degree F. Prepare a pie dish. Roll out the pastry 1" larger than the pie dish.
5) Put in the filling and cover the top with another piece of roll out pastry and crimp the edges. Cut a few slits on top of the pastry for venting air.
6) Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
7) Let it cool down for 10-15 minutes before serving.
A few of you asked how I make the lattice design on top of the pie. Here is my secret :) I used this gadget I bought a few years ago from a kitchen supplies store.

Note : You can add extra water if the filling gets too dry before the potatoes is soft.

Your chicken pot pie look delicious! How do you make the weaving top? It looks very nice.
I love your design and thanks for your easy recipe. I'm going to make it tomorrow for dinner. Can't wait!
Thanks for your homely recipes which I follow regularly. Im a new baker and only bake weekends. I love to follow your blog & LCOM's blog too - i find them so original and suitable for a family.
Can these be baked in individual portions instead of one large one?
Alternatively, is it easy to remove from the pan & tranferred into a serving plate?
Eh Gert,
What brand of pie puff you bought? Nampak so puffy... I usually bought the Pillsburry pie crust... Not puffy at all lah... Different type of crust kot.
that's one delicious looking chicken pot pie. Growing up, mum used to make the individual pot pies for me as snacks.
Gert, in my whole life I never baked any kind of pie. I find it too complicated. (I'm not good in baking to be honest)
Does it taste like shepherd pie?
- Kath
this is one goodlooking pie! well done :) have been craving pie this week actually.
Zue, I had a special mould to cut the lattice design on the pastry :)
LCOM, you are most welcome. Can't wait to see your pie :)
Joanne, thanks for visiting my blog for you kind comment. Hope to read more of your comment :)Yes, you can make this pie into individual serving and I have no problem remove the pie to the serving dish but the filling do fall out a bit since it is not a dense fillings.
Cat, I think the pastry you used is short crust pastry. The one I used is puff pastry. Look for 'Pepperidge Farm' brand at the freezer.
Mandy, thank you.
Kath, actually is easy to make a pie especially now you can just buy the read made crust. No, this pie has a lighter flavour and not so meaty as shepard pie.
Diva, thanks for stopping by. Make some for yourself this weekend :)
Oh, that looks delicious!!
Yum yum...chicken pie! Another of my favourite! Gert, you have been posting all my favourite food these past few weeks! I really really can't wait to try them out, because I know they will all turn out to be fabulous (just like a few of your recipes that I tried). Can't wait! :)

Hi Gert, I tried out this pot pie recipe yesterday and it turned out pretty good. Pakai mushroom soup is a nice idea. I used the short crust, so next time should try the puff pastry crust.

Gert, thanks for the recipe. It was easy to make. My kids finished it and there wasn't any leftovers. Will be making more of it. I had to go to BBandBeyond to get myself a Pie pan.. tat means my first time making a pie... and it sure was a success.
JOAT, you are most welcome. Glad that your kids enjoyed the pie :)
That looks very delicious and the lattice cutter is such a neat tool - haven't seen it before! To think that I was struggling with the lattice in the past!
Thank you so much for sharing this simple recipe. I made it for my family last night and it was yummy.
Served it Mashed potatoes with roasted onion and garlic. I did add rosemary, Oregano and thyme. Next time I would add a couple of bay leaf and maybe a pinch of basil. The simmer stage took about 1 3/4 hour to get my finely diced potatoes cooked completely.
