Cajun Chicken Pot Pie is a twist on the classic chicken pot pie, adding some spicy and flavorful Cajun seasoning to the mix. This dish combines tender pieces of chicken, sliced mushrooms, mixed vegetables, and cream cheese in a creamy and rich sauce, topped with a flaky pastry crust. The dish hails from Louisiana, where Cajun cuisine is celebrated for its bold and flavorful spices. It's a perfect dish to warm you up after a long day or even for a special occasion. Serve it with a side salad or some mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Allow it to cool before filling.
3.Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, salt, and black pepper and cook until the chicken is no longer pink.
4.Add mushrooms into the same pan with the chicken and cook for 3 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
5.Mix the undiluted cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup in the same skillet as the chicken while gradually stirring in the chicken broth.
6.Add softened cream cheese, chopped tomatoes, and mixed vegetables and mix until the cheese is melted, and the vegetables are coated.
7.Finally, add crushed red pepper flakes and stir everything together.
8.Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and cover it with another pastry. Press the edges together to seal and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
9.Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow it to cool a bit before serving. Enjoy!
