Ingredients:

Base:

  • 1 can (10.75 oz) Campbell’s Cream of mushroom Soup
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Protein:
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound fresh or frozen peas
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • Toppings:
  • 1 package (15 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

    • Preparation:

    1. Prep the Filling: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and water, then stir in the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
    2. Add the Protein and Veggies: Add the chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes to the sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
    3. Assemble the Pot Pie: Roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch square. Cut the pastry into four equal squares. Place the filling into a 9-inch pie dish. Top with the pastry squares, crimping the edges to seal. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
    4. Bake to Perfection: Bake the pot pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

    Total Time: Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes
