I couldn't decide which picture I liked better, so I put them both. This dish is way beyond easy to make. I got this recipe off the back of the Bisquick box. My mom used to always make this, and I'd always thought she'd spent so much time making this until I saw the recipe on the back of the box. With how good it tastes, you wouldn't believe how easy and fast it is to make.

Jeremy used to always buy those icky frozen pot pies that you can get for 2 for a dollar (for a good reason) until one day I made him this chicken pot pie. I think he was impressed because now he asks for it all of the time. We did change it up a bit to our liking. Jeremy and I always thought it was a bit dry. The original recipe only calls for one can of cream of chicken soup, and one day Jeremy decided to throw in another can of cream of chicken just to see what would happen. At first I was like, "What did you do! That is waaaaay too much!"  I then had to increase the shredded chicken from 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups just to make it somewhat even. Everything else I left the same. What a huge difference it made!  It made it so creamy and moist. It solved our dryness problem for sure. We've made it like that ever since then!

We have also found the BEST frozen mixed veggies. A good package of mixed veggies are always hard to find because there is always that one veggie you don't really like that you have to pick out. For me, it's mostly the peas. One day we were walking through Costco, strolling down every aisle like we always do, and we came upon this mixture.
It is Bybee's Finest Organic Garden Trio. It has all of our favorite veggies, and we don't have to pick anything out! It has corn, green beans, and carrots. Absolutely perfect! It's also really good to eat by itself as a side. I don't know if it's the organic factor or not, but I've noticed that this particular mixture tastes so much better than any other frozen veggies I have ever tasted. If you find it, I really recommend it.

We always have all of the ingredients to make this chicken pot pie stocked to make it at any moment's notice. It's just that easy to make! It helps that not many ingredients are involved. It sure beats having to run and get a crummy fast food burger when you're trying to come up with a quick dinner solution! Try it! You will love it!

it's not really a SOUP soup. it's more of a cassarole.
