Instructions:
It is worth every single second. The flavor of this chicken pot pie is just spot on.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- For the filling, in a large saucepan, combine the soup, milk, onions, cheeses, celery, and carrot. Cook and stir until the mixture is hot and the cream cheese is melted. Stir in the chicken and broccoli and heat through. Pour into an ungreased 2-quart casserole.
- For the pastry, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix and the shredded Cheddar cheese. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the egg, the milk, and the oil. Add to the pancake mix; stir until well combined. Spoon the pastry mixture over the hot chicken mixture. Sprinkle with the nuts. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the chicken mixture is bubbly around the edges.
