Ingredients (4 Simple Items)
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare baking dish – lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
- Layer chicken evenly across the bottom.
- Mix base – in a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Pour over the chicken.
- Add topping – sprinkle the self-rising flour evenly over the top (do not stir).
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Cool slightly before serving so the layers can settle.
Description
This dish forms its own layers while baking: a creamy chicken base on the bottom and a soft, biscuit-like crust on top. The texture is rich and comforting, with a savory flavor that feels like a classic homemade pot pie—without the fuss of making pastry.
Tips for Best Results
- Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
- Add a handful of frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) if you want more texture.
- Don’t stir the layers—this helps create the signature pot pie structure.
- For a richer taste, substitute part of the milk with cream.
Corrections & Notes
- If you don’t have self-rising flour, make your own:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt
- The top may look soft at first—this is normal; it firms up slightly as it cools.
- Avoid overbaking, or the crust may become too dry.
Enjoy
Serve warm with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables. This cozy, no-fuss Amish chicken pot pie bake is the kind of meal that brings comfort to the table with almost no effort—perfect for sharing or enjoying leftovers the next day!
