This recipe is a family favorite that even my 3-year old devours. Using a few pre-made ingredients and frozen vegetables make the prep on this chicken pot pie recipe come together very fast.
The flaky pre-made crust and creamy condensed cream of chicken soup boost the flavor and lighten the workload. The condensed soup also makes this a great recipe to reheat in the microwave since unlike traditional cream-based pot pies will often break if reheated too quickly.

Notes
This recipe can be easily modified. Vegetables your family does not like can be removed or vegetables that they do like can be added. If fresh vegetables are not available then frozen or canned could work, just be careful of the amount of salt in canned vegetables.
The chicken can also be swapped with shredded chicken from a supermarket rotisserie chicken or roasted chicken parts.
