Chicken Pot Pie

This is one of my easy recipes. Quick for dinners during the week, great for lunch the next day and an all time favorite of my bf so that works too!! I took the top from one of my moms recipes and the bottom is something easy I came up with but change around every time I make it :)

Recipe Ingredients:
2-3c cooked chicken
veggies (frozen, canned, or fresh)
1 can cream of mushroom (any cream of something will work)
1 can pillsbury crescent rolls
1/2c sour cream
1/2c mayo
2 tablespoons butter
Sliced almonds
handful or two of cheese (mozz or swiss)
non stick cooking spray

I change this recipe up every time I make it. It all depends what I have in my kitchen at the time. This week in the way of veggies I had a bag of frozen veggies, some left over (already steamed the night before) brocc, and a can of potatoes. I had bf cook up some chicken cutlets on the grill while he was cooking dinner the night before so I was ready to go! I gave the brocc, pots and chicken a rough chop and threw them in a bowl with the frozen veggies.

Next, I put the can of cream of whatever (I used mushroom I think) sour cream and mayo into a large soup pot... threw in the bowl of veggies and stirred every once in a while until bubbly. While waiting to bubble and heat threw I added salt and pepper to taste and some rosemary and thyme (you can leave those out or add others if you like... I normally open my spice cabinet and add whatever looks good to me)

Once heated thru for a bit (maybe 5 mins) and bubbly I poured the mixture into a greased 8x10 pyrex casserole dish.

I unrolled the crescent rolls and started to lay them flat to cover the top of the chicken - veggie mixture. 

In a small bowl I microwaved 2 tablespoons of butter until melted, then I threw in a handful of sliced almonds and a handful or two of mozz cheese. Stir to coat the almonds and cheese with the melted butter. Sprinkle on top of the crescent roll crust.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. We like it with rice... but eat it alone or with anything and it will be perfect!!
