Crustless Chicken Pot Pie

Good Morning, Friends! Today I’m bringing you a skillet of comfort at the end of a long and busy day. I can’t imagine wanting anything more. This uses ingredients that I usually have on hand so you probably have them, too. If not, they are easy to get and store. I am using Chicken Tenders that I purchased in bulk and preserved a while back by vacuum sealing them with my FoodSaver® FM5000 Series Food Preservation System.

Vacuum sealing meat with a FoodSaver® Food Preservation System is the absolute best way to store meat in your freezer because it locks out air allowing your meat to last up to five times longer when compared to ordinary storage methods and combats freezer burn and damage. I can buy chicken tenders on sale, in bulk, store them with my FoodSaver® Food Preservation System, and know they will be just fine no matter how long it takes me to eat them all. These chicken tenders are shown vacuum sealed with a FoodSaver® Food Preservation System. I purchased two very large trays of them and separated them into family sized servings making it easier to incorporate the meat in meals such as this one.
I’ve posted this before but this chart is always an eye opener for me and I have found it to be absolutely true first hand.
I’ve had a FoodSaver® Food Preservation System for years but recently I started using the latest model, the FoodSaver® FM5000 Food Preservation System, which has a few notable improvements over my older model. The main thing I love about it is that it has a separate sealer for the bags. Now, instead of having to make my bag and use the main sealer to seal them, there is a new Express Bag Maker that pre-seals your next bag every time you use the system. This cuts the bag making steps by 50% compared to previous models. You can purchase this machine for $149.00 – $199.00 at most department stores such as Wal Mart, Costco, Sam’s, Target, Amazon, or online at FoodSaver.com.
I seal all of my meat using the FoodSaver® Food Preservation System. I like to vacuum seal the meat in family size portions and store in the fridge (for use within the next few days) or freezer (for use the following week or years from now).
There are a lot of gadgets and appliances you can get for your kitchen which will take up space and rarely be used. This is a worthwhile machine that will save you money, make your meal planning easier, and make life infinitely more delicious. 🙂

this does not seem like enough liquid with all the veggies and chicken. Only 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 c broth? I doubled that.
This looks good, Christy, I’ll definitely try it soon. I make your mom’s Cheese Lovers’ Chicken Pot Pie often. We love it.
As far as the FoodSaver®, I just saw at coupons.com that there’s a coupon for $20 off the FoodSaver® FM2000 Food Preservation System at Walmart. I know it’s the older model, but some of your readers might be interested.
Thanks for sharing Samantha!!!
I don’t think the recipe meant to call for “2-12 bags of frozen vegetables”. Wasn’t it supposed to say “2 12 oz, bags of frozen vegetables”?
It looks good and easy.
yes ma’am. I don’t have words for how tired I am right now, thanks for catching that!
She did put 2- 12oz bags of frozen vedgetables she didnt say 12 bags
Looks tasty. Would it be same delicious with turkey tenders?
It sure would!!
Did I miss where to put the broth in? I’m assuming it’s with the milk, ranch, salt & pepper? Thanks!
I fixed it Dawn, but yes, it goes in with the milk.
This sounds so good and easy and I was wondering if I made it then opened a can of biscuits and put on top and put in oven for the required time if it would work?? Also copied the chicken fried rice and can’t wait to make as it’s one of our favorite meals. Thanks so much!. I want to order all of your cookbooks and am I correct that you have 3?? Thanks so much
Can of biscuits works very well. I do it all the time instead of pie crust. Happy cooking!
Just an FYI: for some reason most of the images are showing up as broken links. BUT the picture with the recipe card looks great! This is just the kind of thing I love to make in a big batch, and then switch up serving it with rice, over pasta, etc. Thanks for another winner 🙂
