Deep-Dish Chicken Pot Pie

photo by:kraft

A flaky crust surrenders to a warm veggie-and-chicken mixture infused with a savory sauce. Even better, this makeover is smarter than the classic version. Dig deep.

What You Need

lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

1/4

cup KRAFT Lite Zesty Italian Dressing

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, cubed

Tbsp. flour

1/2

cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans), thawed, drained

ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 15-oz. pkg.)

It's for dipping and dunking and mixing-upping. And yes, for salad too.

Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

COOK chicken in dressing in large skillet on medium heat 2 min. Add Neufchatel; cook and stir 3 to 5 min. or until melted. Stir in flour until blended. Add broth and vegetables; stir. Simmer 5 min.

POUR into 10-inch deep-dish pie plate; cover with pie crust. Seal and flute edge. Cut slits in crust to permit steam to escape.

BAKE 30 min. or until golden brown.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

If you don't have a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate, you can prepare this recipe in a 2-qt. round casserole instead.

Loved this pot pie. I added more flour and stock to make more gravy. It is good with or without the dressing. Made it once for my boyfiend and now we have at least twice a month. Thanks.

My husband went back for 3 servings (very unusual in my house). He was very impressed. We really enjoyed and it has now been added into the list of definite repeats.

This was an easy way to make chicken pot pie. I really enjoyed it. Intead of using the pie crust I put homemade biscuts on top (very yummy).

The Italian dressing made it taste funny. The family members were not impressed!!!!!!!!! The children complained and wouldn't eat it. I will never make this recipe again.

I don't know if I can rate THIS recipe per se. I took it as a basis: I liked that it used cream cheese. But I doctored it up significantly: I added mushrooms, finely chopped onions, and potatoes (no vegetables as my husband doesn't like them). I also seasoned it with garlic and tarragon. I did not add flour as potatoes provided the necessary thickening. I made it earlier in the day and let it sit to thicken and to mix flavors. Then I baked it. It is superb and was fun and easy to make.
