How to Make Easy Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Using Leftovers

Change Up Leftovers With Something Different And Good

Using your left overs is a great way to save money and stretch your budget. When you can take your meals from the first to soup, you save even more money.

When we cook a chicken or buy a rotisserie, I’m always coming up with ways we can eat the leftovers, without eating the same meal again. We make chicken sandwiches, soup, enchiladas and pot pies.

Chicken Pot Pie

What you’ll need:
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
corn from 1 cooked cob of corn

1 cup of baby carrots chopped 3-4 times
1-2 leftover small baked potatoes peeled and cubed into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth
salt & pepper to taste
1 puff pastry, thawed

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Add the corn, carrots, potatoes, flour and salt and pepper.  Mix them together and place into the 8×8 pan.

Add the chicken on top of the veggies in the pan.  Add the chicken brother.

Take a piece of puff pastry a little bigger than your pan and roll out a little thinner.

Place on top of the 8×8 pan and tuck in the edges. Poke holes with a fork into the pastry.

Bake about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden brown.

Alternatives for gravy:  You can use canned gravy instead of using the chicken broth and flour.  You could also thicken the broth and flour together in a pan on the stove and then add to the 8×8 pan. Use puff pastry as your crust or you can use a pie crust.
