00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.063
- Let's make a homemade chicken pot pie.

2
00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:07.530
No wait, that's too much work.

3
00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:09.273
Let's make a lazy chicken pot pie.

4
00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:11.940
You can make a pretty easy version

5
00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:13.800
of this classic comfort food

6
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.800
with just a can of soup and
a carb, any carb you like.

7
00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:22.080
I like to get a creamy style chicken soup.

8
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:23.880
Some are chicken corn chowder,

9
00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:27.390
or a soup that literally
says chicken pop pie on it.

10
00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:28.680
That'll do.

11
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:30.750
The only problem is, it is soup

12
00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:34.020
so we have to thicken it
like a pot pie filling.

13
00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:36.150
So dump this can of soup into a pot

14
00:00:36.150 --> 00:00:37.800
and heat it up to boil.

15
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:40.261
Add a cornstarch slurry, which is just

16
00:00:40.261 --> 00:00:43.800
two teaspoons of cornstarch
and about a quarter,

17
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.990
a little less than a
quarter cup of cold water.

18
00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:48.390
Stir it in and return it to a boil.

19
00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:50.970
At this point, you can
check the consistency.

20
00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:52.260
If you want it to be thicker,

21
00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:54.510
you can always add more cornstarch slurry.

22
00:00:54.510 --> 00:00:56.610
If you like a pot pie with a bottom,

23
00:00:56.610 --> 00:00:59.460
dump this into a pre-made pie crust.

24
00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:01.320
You will wanna parbake that though,

25
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.180
just so the bottom doesn't get soggy.

26
00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:05.340
Or keep things properly lazy

27
00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.160
and dump this into any
kind of cooking vessel.

28
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:11.880
A loaf pan, a cake pan, one
of these small ceramic dishes,

29
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:13.890
and then top it with your carb.

30
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:16.350
So I have a small bit of pie crust

31
00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:17.550
that I'm gonna put on top,

32
00:01:17.550 --> 00:01:20.430
but you could use Bisquick, you could use

33
00:01:20.430 --> 00:01:23.280
a can of Pillsbury
biscuits, whatever you like.

34
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.800
Put toast on top. It's your pot pie.

35
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:29.520
Bake this at 375 until the
topping is nicely browned

36
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:30.780
and the filling is bubbling.

37
00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:31.613
That's it.

38
00:01:31.613 --> 00:01:34.950
Cozy up with your own
lazy pot pie and enjoy.

39
00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:36.450
