Chicken Pot Pie

I made Chicken Pot Pie today while we watched the NFC and AFC Championship Games... I had alot of people ask for the recipe, so I decided to post it on here.  If anyone else has any other good pot pie tips, feel free to add to this! 

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts on the bone
1 package of frozen mixed vegetables
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of cream of chicken soup
Chicken Broth ( I just save the broth that I boil the chicken breasts in)
Salt and Pepper
1 pkg. of Pillsbury Pie Crusts (in the red box, usually found in the refridgerated section near biscuits- there will be 2 crusts in each box.)

Boil the chicken until it's tender enough to fall off the bone.  Then de-bone chicken and shred into bite size pieces.  Cook frozen vegetables until tender following package directions.  In a large bowl, mix the chicken, vegetables, both soups and salt and pepper to taste.  Add broth until moist.  I usually add about 1/2 cup of broth.  Let the Pie Crusts sit out and warm to room temp so you can roll out the dough.  Put one crust on the bottom of a glass 9 x 13 dish.  Fill with the chicken mixture.  Top with the other crust.  I take a fork and punch a few little holes in the top....

Bake for 20 mins at 350 degrees or until crust looks light brown. 

Just FYI... today I didn't have chicken breasts on the bone, so I took boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them in my crockpot on low for about 6 hrs until they were very tender.  Then I shredded them for the filling.  Mike said he thought it was even better that way!

My family LOVES this recipe... hope yours does too!!

GO PACKERS!!
