Oh My: Chicken Pot Pie!

This recipe is a family favorite.  Coupled with the fact that it is so easy to put together, well now you know the answer to that age-old question, "What's for dinner?". 

What you need:

1-2 large cans of chicken
2 cups + of frozen mixed veggies
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 pre-packaged pie crusts
2 heaping Tablespoons of dried Celery Flakes
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried poultry seasoning

If you are using 2 cans of chicken - lightly drain both, leaving only about a 1/2 cup of liquid.  Mix together all of your ingredients.  Pour into a deep dish pie plate lined with one of the crusts.  Place the second crust on top of the mixture.  Pull the sides of the first crust away so that you can fold the top crust down between it and the dish.  Cut slits in the top crust.  Bake for 45-50 minutes at 425 degrees.  Remove and let sit for 5 mintues before cutting and serving. 

 
 
To adapt your pie: consider using leftover turkey or chicken (will need a couple cups, cubed); or use canned mixed veggies (1-2 cans, lightly drained).  You can use your favorite homemade pie crust recipe also.  Spices can be added or reduced to meet your family's taste and health needs.  Fresh celery leaves may also be used, but you will need a 1/2 cup.
