Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Joe requested homemade chicken pot pie this week, so I came up with this easy recipe. I mixed several recipes together from www.allrecipes.com and from the back of the Cream of Potato soup can.

1 can cream of potato soup (or you can use cream of chicken or cream of mushroom)
1/4 cup milk
1 large can cooked chicken breast
1 cup frozen vegetables, thawed (or use canned mixed vegetbales)
2 refrigerated or frozen pie crusts

Basically you just mix the first 4 ingredients together in a bowl. You might want to add some spices like thyme, but I didn't and mine still tasted great. Follow the directions on the package for the pie crusts. I read on allrecipes that if you bake the lower crust for a few minutes first then it will turn out less mushy, so I did that. Then I added the mixture and put the other crust on top, cut holes for steam, and baked according to the package directions. It tasted great and was very easy, plus the cleanup was a snap since my crust came in a metal throw-away pan. Very easy and yummy, with lots less sodium I'm sure than those frozen ones!
