SHORTCUT Chicken Pot Pie | Simple Family Favourites

[@FloLum]

I underestimated how salty the rotisserie chicken would be so the pot pie ended up a bit on the salty side. Next time I would omit the teaspoon of salt. But I managed to save dinner with a tip at the end. Lesson learned, try the chicken first!

[@Arizona74Frog]

Flo Lum lol I was thinking as he said it was a bit salty, "why not add it on top of unsalted mashed potatoes or add diced boiled potatoes to the mix and then just add the pie crust back on top" great minds definitely think alike ☺️ thanks for sharing another great recipe. Be blessed

[@DanielKivari]

You are right, Costco chicken is super salty. I think that they are stored in brine, before they are cooked.

[@Randy-qq8lr]

I agree on the salt. Still, nice save Dude. Smart man.. i’m sure that comment was wifey approved 😂😂 Looks so yummy!! How can you not like pot pie this time of year especially.

[@richardwong7681]

How can you make a chicken pot pie without trying that juicy chicken. I, always do a quality control taste test ! :)

[@caroleezekiel6000]

I make mine almost exactly like your recipe. I've never thought about using a Costco chicken! I will next time. Also, when I use the bouillon, I never add salt to any recipe. It usually has more than enough in it for any recipe. I also try to make my store bought pie crust fit on my oblong casserole dish! I'm definitely going to try the iron skillet next time! Perfect fit! I do add a little bit of diced potato, and some half and half to mine. You could also put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes at the end, to brown the crust. Thanks for this recipe and tips!

[@rainelp]

Thank you for your honesty, and real ness. Because of that I’m going to try this recipe!! You guys are great!

[@maryellenclouston4790]

Still a wonderful idea that I am going to try. I have both your books and love them, Don’t feel bad and be hard on yourself for this on teeny tiny error we have all been there and done that and it just makes you human and makes us love you more. Making one of your recipes tonight. Love you guys. 💕

[@mamawong08]

I made this today except I made my own rotisserie chicken in instant pot. I don’t buy the store bought ones anymore. I also double pie crusted mine because when I first took it out of the oven, the pan was slipping off me and I spilled some of it!!!! Used the other pie crust in pack and baked again. Saved the dish!!! Everyone said it was delicious!!!! I think a tip I would add is to put the cast iron pan on top of a sheet pan so it’s easy to take it out of the oven.

[@SteamPunk-xp2uv]

Yes, it is time for winter food, and your chicken pot pie looks wonderful. I really like the frozen pie shell hack. I, too, am a big fan of Costco's rotisserie chickens, but Costco takes easy meal prep to a whole different level with their chilled, hand-pulled rotisserie chicken breast meat. 3 lbs. of convenience: no skin, no bones, in nice large chunks. Since there is no skin, I haven't noticed any saltiness, either. They freeze well, too, in case you find them on sale!

[@FloLum]

I have never seen their hand-pulled chicken! I’ll have to keep my eye out for it. Thanks!

[@caroleezekiel6000]

I have bought the hand pulled before, and it's great! It's usually in the section where the premade casseroles, etc are.

[@milk1112]

I just ordered the paperback! I’ve been watching you for a long time and have loved your recipes. I am a flight attendant and have shared your recipes with crew members and have to say your Tuscan zuppa insta pot soup has been a favorite at the base😊👍🏻

[@oh.bessssie]

Love the cast iron recipe! Instant Pot and cast iron are my kitchen obsessions.

[@lzrdlps]

looks easy and tasty, I might top with mashed potatoes, kinda of like Shepherds pie instead of the pie crust.

[@debbiee7850]

you have such a lovely, soothing voice. What a great recipe !

[@debw8531]

Flo you are so creative with a Costco chicken and I will now add to my list. Please continue with the simple recipes you provide to the viewers. Also made your randang beef recipe tonight and it was delicious 😋 Dude I like the background Jazz music as you enter the scene !

[@lindapasquali2670]

I totally understand the salt problem ... I love Better Than Bouillon myself, but if you don’t get the low sodium, you can end up with some salty tasting food! I will try this recipe, Flo! I love chicken pot pies, and this one sounds absolutely perfect for me! Thank you....now I have to get that cookbook ordered!! 🤗

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Tucking this away to use with turkey left over after Thanksgiving! ☺️

[@klc317]

Looks really good! Nice idea with just adding the top crust. Store bought pot pies are completely loaded with sodium.....even if this was a little salty its probably WAY better than the pre-made.

[@SBakall2]

I would never have thought to flip a ready-made crust to top this to turn it into a pot pie.. pure genius, Flo!

[@richardwong7681]

I like the shortcut too! I thought you were going to transfer the ingredients to the pie crust. It makes sense.

[@stefwongcreative]

If you want it even more shortcut try using Superstore’s mirepoix frozen vegetables mix.

[@davidapps2605]

Wow what a great simple meal. Myself I would put lashings of creamy mashed potatoes on top. Great recipe guys 😃

[@14Marathons]

Looks yummy. I'll have to try with rotisserie chicken. I've made chicken pot pies before in my Ninja Foodi, so that I could brown the crust without removing from pot....but your method in the cast iron skillet is a great idea as well. I had to cut an X in the middle of the crust to keep from blowing a hole in the crust. Thanks again for the recipe and video.

[@semco72057]

The chicken pot pie is looking great and Dude must have enjoyed it and the kids too. The salt is what I would leave out as it was what made the dish saltier since the other seasoning already had plenty of salt in it.

[@teresaw.2218]

Love this channel! Can't wait to try this one! I've recommended your channel to many of my friends....great content, and great explanations!

[@dorispowell7643]

I’ve also used Costco’s rotisserie chicken to make chicken pot pie. I don’t add any salt until done if needed. I think the extra salt comes from the better than bouillon.

[@scottanthony1616]

Hello Flo & Dude, one of my favorite meals, this is just me, but I like a crust on the bottom as well, I'm still gonna give your recipe a try Flo. Have a wonderful week, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🇨🇦☕️🦃🦃🍽🇺🇸🇨🇦👼🏻👼🏻

[@FloLum]

My kids want more crust too! Might be worth baking the another crust on the side. Happy Sunday, CT!

[@scottanthony1616]

Flo Lum oh yes, more crust, you can't go wrong. Happy Sunday to you and your Family. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@tammylovescats]

Sounds yummy!

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

👍Thanks for the tip on adding potatoes to reduce saltiness.

[@mamawong08]

I just got my copy of the ELEVATED cookbook today!!!!

[@FloLum]

Yay!

[@colleenbeamer6403]

Looks yummy - this is something I would definitely make! Thanks for the tip on Costco rotisserie chicken - never thought of buying it from there. Dude, you are hilarious - talk about a lackadaisical entrance! 🤣

[@ontexastime6690]

Great recipe. You could turn the oven on broil and put the pot pie in for a minute or so, if you want to brown the crust .

[@ATbitfiddler]

Dude does great camera 📷 work. I live a good pot pie.

[@bronsont7280]

❤️ this recipe!

[@myrnaortiz384]

A rainy day here in NYC, a great day for soup and horror movies. LOL.

[@cmaur811]

I’m making that today tooo.I’m using puff pastry .

[@Jaydit7]

It's really odd, the level of saltiness in store bought Rotisserie Chickens. I've had some that were almost inedible, and a really pricy one that was Perfect in all ways. The one at my local store is salty-but-not-too, and I've learned to adjust recipes accordingly. It's never fun to be taken by surprise, but I'm sure you worked around the saltiness, oh yes! And WOOT for the print version of the new cookbook!!

[@bridgetsalter265]

It's one giant LEEK for mankind .😉 One giant LEEK for that huge cast iron cook pan . Pure gold this one flo👍 Tell dude,nothing beats a Costco ready chicken from CARDIFF. ......it's a Welsh LEEK thing !!!! All good vibes for that cookbook dearest flo 💟👏

[@cathyoneil834]

Costco rotisserie chicken is the best!!! Big and juicy and just delish........lots of meals in there but Costco is such a zoo......especially on sample days......definitely want to avoid that time😸😸......

[@jackiegermann9317]

That looks amazing! Because my apartment has a glass top stove, I cannot use cast iron. But instantly thought of using this filling in my mini pie maker! And I’ll be using my left over thanksgiving turkey to do it! Just a question. Did I miss a video of yours that talked about brine? I’m looking to brine my turkey for Thursday. I have no idea how to that! Once again thank you for videos and congratulations on your cook book🤗💕

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Jackie! Since I started using sous vide to make turkey, I haven’t used brine in years. I think the last time I brined a turkey, I used Emeril’s recipe and I had to fill a cooler to fit the huge bird into. It was tasty but a lot of work! (That, apparently, I can no longer be bothered with. 😉)

[@caroleezekiel6000]

I have used an iron skillet on my daughter's glass top stove. I am just very careful to not put it down hard or slide it. No problems so far. You could also use a stainless, oven proof skillet.

[@bethlewis9981]

@@caroleezekiel6000 I always use my cast iron on the glass top and have for years without any problems.

[@poutygorilla2698]

Fabulous idea! Really looks like it took a lot of trouble to make 😍

[@brendastratton1306]

I absolutely love the quick and easy aspect of this recipe! It's been quite awhile since I've made a chicken pot pie, and I was thinking only yesterday that it was time to make another. I'm so glad this video popped up in my feed today. While I could go get a rotisserie chicken, I happen to have about 25 pints of chicken breast in my pantry that I canned last summer. I think I will make it with that. Is that a 12" skillet you are using? Thanks, Flo and Dude!

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Brenda! My pan is only 10”.

[@brendastratton1306]

@@FloLum Thanks so much for letting me know! I have one of those, too. This is going to be a delicious, easy-to-fix recipe while I'm busy getting ready for the holidays. Thanks, again!

[@aidahiser5965]

I want a taste too!!!!

[@PaullaWells]

Yay! New book is out! I like this version of pot pie because I can omit the peas which I hate. 😂 I don’t know why peas are always in pot pies.

[@FloLum]

LOL! I actually forgot to buy the peas then went back for them.

[@kenfoster3983]

Hey Flo, I I think you are correct in the assessment that the bouillon was the culprit and probably using only a dash of salt. What if you had added some butter to the crust top? The potatoes would be a nice addition. Also where is the line of apparel stating "I can't be bothered" lol Great shortcut.

[@FloLum]

Did I not say it? If not, I’m sure I thought it. LOL

[@kenfoster3983]

@@FloLum you did say it. I was agreeing with you. And agree with adding potatoes.

[@FloLum]

Ah... I read too fast and missed the “of apparel”

[@lillypatience]

Looks delish! What size is the cast iron? I'm guessing 10". If I were to make this ahead for a potluck, do you think reheating can just be done on the stove top? Just ordered your cookbook!

[@FloLum]

I think that would be fine! Thanks, Lillian!

[@3dlovely]

I tried to order your new cookbook, but when I go through your link, I don't get the paperback option, only the Kindle version. If I go straight into Amazon and search under your name, I get the paperback option. I know if I purchase through your store it helps you, so I held off ordering. I will try again tomorrow and see if it changes. It does say to check out formats or editions; however, I still only get the Kindle option.

[@FloLum]

Thank you for your thoughtfulness! We thought the two versions would be linked as one by now but apparently not. Here is the link to the paperback: geni.us/ElevatedPaperback

[@3dlovely]

@@FloLum Thanks! I just ordered. I am definitely looking forward to receiving it. Take good care.

[@jenniferwaller4137]

Please check the ingredients in the bullion jar. The chicken is injected with garbage and so is the jar of bouillon. Just looking out for you. Love your work and what you do!

[@FloLum]

That’s why we don’t eat it all the time. On occasion, it’s a compromise. 😉 Thanks, Jennifer!

[@matlit1859]

I'm sure you know this already, but please don't stop posting because you make (somewhat) easily fixable mistakes. I may be speaking for myself, but an upload (with or without errors) is better than no upload. The quality of the techniques will speak for themselves.

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Mat! That’s very kind! I make the mistakes so you don’t have to. 😉

[@bethlewis9981]

I really appreciate that you let us see when things are not perfect as it gives me confidence in your videos. You won't just pretend all is just fine for the sake of the video.

[@philheaton1619]

Don't forget, people can salt to their own taste.

[@edj2745]

Costco chicken is plain and has no salt. You can't taste any salt.
