It’s no secret that we LOVE quick & easy freezer meals around here, especially ones that use budget-friendly ingredients! Believe it or not, this tender, juicy, flavor-packed Chicken Pot Pie is a winner. It’s uses mostly basic ingredients, whips up in minutes, then goes straight from the freezer to the crockpot to the table, all while tasting like you spent hours slaving away in the kitchen!

To make it as part of a freezer cooking day, just split the sauce & chicken into multiple bags, then throw it right into the freezer–no cooking required!

To make this even easier we used a rotisserie chicken. But you can use any type of chicken you have on hand.

Assemble your ingredients for this yummy dinner, onion, carrots, celery, salt, pepper, chicken stock, chopped rotisserie chicken, bag of mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup and refrigerated crescents.

Here is what you need:
