If you want something you can prep the night before and pop in the oven for dinner, need a covered dish for a potluck, or love chicken pot pie, this is the recipe for you.This is a real crowd pleaser. Golden brown with tasty filling, read on!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bisquick or other all purpose baking mix
• 2 lbs chicken (raw or canned)
• 1 large can or 2 small cans cream of chicken soup
• 1 large or 2 small cans of mixed vegetables
• baking pan
• oil or non stick spray
• 2 mixing bowls, spoons

1. Cook chicken and cut or shred into bite size pieces. You can also use canned chicken. Open and drain the mixed vegetables. Open the cream of chicken soup and do not dilute with water. Mix the chicken, vegetables, and soup together in the mixing bowl.

2. Grease pan. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix Bisquick or baking mix with water in another mixing bowl. Add more water than the instructions suggest, making the batter thin as though you were making pancakes.

3. Pour some of the batter into the bottom of the greased pan. You want to cover the entire bottom of the pan, about 1/4 inch deep. Spoon in your filling evenly throughout the pan, pressing it down. Leave a little space between the filling and the edges for the crust to develop. The batter should come up around the edges of the pan and spill over onto the top of the filling. Distribute the filling evenly, smoothing it down. Top with the remaining batter mixture to cover the whole top at least 1/4 inch.

4. Bake in the oven uncovered for 20 minutes or longer, until the baking mix has fully baked and is a golden brown color. The filling was all pre-cooked so it only needed to heat through. Let it set for a few minutes before serving. Cut and serve as you would Lasagne.

Tips & Warnings

• Cover and refrigerate unused portions. They re-heat easily in the microwave
• This is the perfect dish to take to a new person in the neighborhood, a new mom, or a bachelor.
• This recipe is easly doubled or tripled, just use additional pans or a larger pan. I usually use a 9 X 11 cake pan.
• Your pan will be heavy when you put it in or take it out of the oven. Support the middle of the pan.
