Chicken Pot Pie (or Vegetarian)

Deep-Dish Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total time; 55 minutes

Ingredients
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup KRAFT Lite Zesty Italian Dressing
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans), thawed, drained
1 ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 14.1-oz. pkg.)

Directions
1 Heat oven to 375°F.
2 Cook chicken in hot dressing in large skillet on medium heat 2 min., stirring frequently. Add Neufchatel; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until melted. Add flour; mix well. Stir in broth; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until thickened. Add vegetables; stir. Simmer 5 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently.
3 Spoon into 10-inch deep-dish pie plate sprayed with cooking spray; cover with pie crust. Use tines of fork to seal edge of crust to rim of pie plate. Cut slits in crust to permit steam to escape.
4 Bake 30 min. or until golden brown.

Tips:
Cover edge of pie crust with strip of foil for the last 15 min. of the baking time to prevent it from browning too much.


Meatless Pot Pie
I was looking for a meatless version of pot pie and came across this recipe:https://buildyourbite.com/deconstructed-veggie-pot-pie/#wprm-recipe-container-14645
I didn't want to use biscuits, so I followed the directions for the filling and then used pie crust and baked as directed in the chicken pot pie recipe.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 6


Ingredients
1 onion, diced
2.5 tsp garlic powder
20 oz frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrot, peas, green beans)
10 oz cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup vegetable broth (I used chicken)
3/4 cup 2% milk
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
2 teaspoons sage
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
(The original recipe called for fake chicken, but I just increased the amount of veggies--so do 25-30 oz of veggies)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add the garlic, onion, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a large skillet
Saute on medium heat for 10 – 15 minutes stirring often, until onion is transluscent
Add frozen veggies, cream of mushroom, broth, and milk to the skillet
Heat an additional 5 minutes
Add cheese, sage, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper and heat until hot, around 5 more minutes
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary
Spoon into 10-inch deep-dish pie plate sprayed with cooking spray; cover with pie crust. Use tines of fork to seal edge of crust to rim of pie plate. Cut slits in crust to permit steam to escape.
Bake 30 min. or until golden brown.
