How to Cook Chicken Pot Pie in the Microwave

1. In a large microwave safe mug, combine cream of chicken soup, cubed chicken, vegetables, salt, and pepper. 
2. Stir it together and microwave on high for 1 minute. 
3. Remove from the microwave and layer 3 crescent rolls over the heated filling to make a crust. Use a fork to push down the edge and poke a hole for air to vent out of. 
4. Microwave on high for 2 minutes until the crust is golden brown. 

Use a large mug to avoid any overflowing and spillage form your potpie while its cooking in the microwave. Fill your pot pie with anything you want, get creative!

Wasting food breaks my heart and this chicken pot pie recipe is versatile enough to not let that happen. 

Chicken Pot Pie Flavor Variations 

Veggie heavy is one of my favorite routes to take with this chicken pot pie recipe. Instead of using chicken, I like to use cooked broccoli or cauliflower from the night before and chop it into smaller pieces. 

Another variation I enjoy is giving it some delicious Asian flare. I love to add very finely minced chopped ginger with a couple of dashes of soy sauce, but be sure to omit the salt. Instead of frozen peas and carrots, I love adding leftover bok choy from last nights dinner.
