Super Easy Chicken Pie
Home » COOK » Recipes » Meat & Fish Recipes » Chicken »A looooong time ago now – back when my niece was born I helped out the new parents (sis and bro-in-law) by batch cooking them food for a week or so to store in their freezer. I knew with a new baby in the house, the last thing they’d be thinking about is cooking, so I thought it a nice gift from us to do this for them. I had a day in the kitchen cooking up a storm, and I really had meant to start batch cooking more often, but nope, not done it yet!
Among other dishes, I made this super easy chicken pie…one went into the oven the day I made it, the other, cooled, frozen and then later defrosted and cooked through for another meal. I made one for us too and can say, not only was it super easy to make, but it was super tasty – I love a pie!
It’s hard to say how much this pie would feed, since I just split it up into several smaller dishes – just tweak the quantities to suit your family.

Super Easy Chicken Pie
Ingredients
- 1 cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
- sliced mushrooms
- canned or fresh vegetables - I used peas, carrots and green beans
- ready rolled puff or shortcrust pastry
- beaten egg or milk to brush on the pastry
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the chicken and vegetables and pour over the soup. As it's condensed it is very thick and makes a great sauce. I didn't feel that extra seasoning was necessary.
- Divide the mixture between ovenproof dishes (or in one big dish if you prefer, in which case, to save washing up, just ditch mixing the filling together in a bowl!)
- Lay the pastry over the top and brush with a little beaten egg or milk - if you are cooking straight away.
- Cook in a 180-200C oven until piping hot and the pastry is golden.
- If you are freezing this, allow to cool and cover before placing in the freezer. Defrost overnight before cooking as above.
