Yep, you got that right. Not can’t cook, won’t cook. Just can’t cook, can’t cook. My inability to cook is legendary so anything I do cook needs to be fairly idiot proof.
Like my chicken pie. I made this for the first time in ages last month and thought “hmm this is so simple yet so fabulous I need to blog the recipe”.
So here it is, told you it was simple
- Left over chicken, about a handful per person
- Left over vegetables, same quantities
- In the absence of left over veg use a bag of frozen mixed veg
- 2 x Campbell's Condensed chicken soup cans
- Ready to roll shortcrust pastry
- Put the chicken and veg in a saucepan and add the soup.
- Stir until vaguely bubbling
- Place all of that in a pie dish
- Cover with pastry
- Cook for about 40 mins on 180 degrees

I am telling you, you can’t go wrong.
You can add some chopped fried onion if you want. Or some chopped mushrooms. Or even a tin of sweetcorn.
The point is, whatever you have lying around, throw it in and add the soup as the sauce and shove a pastry lid on it. If you are feeling really culinary you can egg wash it before slamming it in the oven for 40 ish minutes.
Bingo
Serve with mashed potatoes
Or if you are exhausted after all that effort, chip shop chips.
Yumm looks very nice!!
You can always substitute the ‘Delia Cheat’ tinned fried onions to make it even easier….and put her cheat’s cookbook on your Christmas list for other ideas!! 😉 You’re welcome.
ah yes, I have that little gem in my collection. It’s a great book.
You had me at can’t cook can’t cook. Adding this to my list of meals for next week. Thank you! x
PLEASE let me know what you think afterwards!
Next week: Chicken Thing
Nice pie
Chicken Thing? We make a thing called chicky rice. It’s probs the same gear.
I nearly choked on my soup when I saw mummy barrow dishing out recipes, BUT yes it does look easy and tasty too. Will give this a try for defo. Xxxxxcxxxc
hahaa… I know what you mean. It is not my usual style, is it? But believe me, this is ace
Have partaken [I think] , enjoyed and am still above ground!
Thanks for the memory.
Aaah Mummy Barrow – I thought I had patented the ‘chicken soup as a sauce’ idea for my chicken pie!! Your recipe is delish as you say! I did an 80s themed party and same pie was the piece de resistance – although my husband had to roll out the pastry for me because I cut my hand quite deeply earlier that day and nobody wants THAT near the pastry!!
