A shortcut on a hearty classic, expertly flavored and thickened using our Chicken Noodle Soup Mix, and made easily in a baking pan. (Don't worry, it doesn't contain noodles!) This chicken pot pie recipe also gives you three "crust" options: use pie crust, biscuits, or puff pastry (see Notes at bottom)!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 1 pound chicken meat (breast, thigh, or your preference), uncooked, cut into small to medium cubes
- 1 bag (12 ounces) frozen vegetables
- 6 cups + 1 tablespoon water, divided
- 1/2 cup Frontier Co-op® Cornstarch
- 1 package Frontier Co-op® Chicken Noodle Soup Mix
- 1 large egg
- 2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In 4- to 6-quart stock pot, heat oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add chicken and brown for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add frozen vegetables and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 cups water, cornstarch and Chicken Noodle Soup Mix; add to stock pot. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grease the bottom and sides of a 9-x-13-inch baking pan.
- Remove chicken mixture from heat, then carefully pour into baking pan.
- In a small dish, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water until well combined.
- On a cutting board, lay pie crusts overlapping just enough to cover the size of the baking pan, and brush with egg wash.
- Using a rolling pin, roll pie crust layers to combine slightly, then place pie crust on top of filled baking pan.
- Cut excess crust off edges of pan, flute edges with fingers, and brush again with egg wash.
- Bake for 40 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- To top with biscuits instead of pie crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Follow directions through step 7. Gently place biscuits on top of filled baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
- To top with puff pastry: Follow directions through step 7. Top filled baking pan with two sheets of puff pastry. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
