Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)

- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, mixed vegetables, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Assemble the Bake:
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the top of the chicken mixture. Stretch and pinch the seams of the dough as needed to cover the filling completely.
Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Serve:
- Let the pot pie bake cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy warm.
Recipe Tips
- Custom Vegetables: Swap the mixed vegetables for your favorites, like green beans, broccoli, or mushrooms.
- Crispier Crust: Brush the crescent roll dough with a beaten egg or melted butter before baking for a shiny, golden finish.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free biscuit dough or omit the crust and top with mashed potatoes instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the bake, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5–10 minutes to the baking time if cooking directly from the refrigerator.
2. Can I freeze leftovers?
Absolutely. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
3. Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
Yes! Sauté fresh vegetables until tender before mixing them into the filling to ensure they cook properly.
