Chicken Pot Pie and Country Cinnamon Swirl Bread

We had a yummy dinner so I wanted to share the recipes with you!

I found this great recipe for Chicken Pot Pie over at Superchikk, one of the fun blogs I follow!  I love that it is easy, quick to throw together and easy to freeze :-)

Chicken Pot Pie
2 Pie crusts
1 egg (for egg wash)
1/2 bag frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas, green beans) (You can also use canned Veg-All or toss in whatever you have in the fridge/freezer)
1/2 – 1 cup Southern Style Hash Browns (I just dump these in until I think there’s enough)
1-2 chicken breasts (or whatever kind of chicken/turkey you want to use). I usually cut the chicken into small chunks and sauté with minced garlic and pepper. You can leave it raw in small pieces and bake it in the pot pie, but you have to be sure it gets thoroughly cooked. I’ve never had trouble with it, I just prefer to cook it ahead of time when I can.
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup (or so) sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste; any other seasonings desired

To prepare:
Cook the chicken with garlic and pepper.
Dump soup & sour cream in a bowl and stir together. Add salt, pepper and any other seasoning desired.
Add frozen veggies, potatoes and chicken, stir until all combined. The mixture should be thick.
Place bottom crust in pan; Brush egg wash on the inside of the bottom pie crust.
Dump the veggie mixture into the crust and smooth.
Roll out the top crust. Brush egg wash on one side, place the egg wash side down on the pot pie.
Cut off excess crust, crimp pie crust as desired. Brush egg wash on the top of the crust. Cut slits to vent.
(I put a foil ring around the edge so it doesn’t brown too quickly)
Bake at 375 for 45 min – 1 hour, until crust is golden and the insides are bubbly

Yummy!  We all enjoyed this alot!

My Notes:
This is great just as it is!!  I actually used to leftover pieces of KFC chicken (two breast pieces) and it was perfect!!
