Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups prepared shredded or chopped Makin’ Magic Chicken, thawed if frozen
- 2 cups frozen chopped broccoli
- 1½ cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
- 1 (15-ounce) jar creamy Alfredo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rustic Herb Seasoning
Crust
- 1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s ready for baking the pot pie to a golden perfection.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded chicken, frozen chopped broccoli, shredded Cheddar cheese, creamy Alfredo sauce, and Rustic Herb Seasoning until evenly combined and set aside.
- Prepare Crust: Follow the package directions to prepare the two-crust pie dough, typically rolling out one crust into a pie pan to form the base.
- Add Filling: Pour the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust base, spreading it out gently.
- Cover with Top Crust: Place the second crust over the filling, sealing the edges by crimping and making a few slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake: Place the assembled pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes to allow the filling to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to thaw the chicken if using frozen for even mixing and cooking.
- You can add additional vegetables like carrots or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil halfway through baking to prevent burning.
- The pot pie can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat covered at 350°F until warmed through.
