Learn to Make Chicken Pot Pie
This video features a demonstration on how to make chicken pot pie from an employee of Pillsbury. The ingredients you will need for this recipe include: two refrigerated pie crusts, onions, milk, butter, cooked, shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, and a pie plate or aluminum foil. The video demonstrates how to make the chicken pot pie filling over the stove, and then shows you how to put the mixture, along with the frozen vegetables, into one of the pie crusts, covering it with the other pie crust. Then, the video walks you through the process of putting the pie plate around the crusts to prevent burning, explaining the alternative method of using aluminum foil if you do not have a pie plate. -
