Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn, drained if canned or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 4 to 6 thick-cut bread slices (such as sourdough or country white; gluten-free bread can be used)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden to form a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Simmer gently to fully combine the flavors.
  2. Toast the bread: While the filling simmers, lightly toast the bread slices until just golden and crisp enough to hold the saucy filling without becoming soggy quickly.
  3. Assemble the soupy toasts: Spoon a generous portion of the creamy chicken pot pie filling onto each toast slice. Arrange the toasts on a baking sheet to catch any drips. You may serve immediately for a warm and soupy experience.
  4. Optional oven finish: To add extra crunch and warmth, place the filled toasts under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until edges crisp and the topping is heated through, creating a contrast between crunchy toast and creamy filling.

Notes

  • Do not over-thicken the filling; keep it saucy for the signature “soupy” texture.
  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better toasting and firmness.
  • Warm serving plates to keep the dish cozy longer.
  • Drain canned or frozen vegetables lightly to reduce excess moisture.
  • Stir the filling gently to keep chicken pieces intact for better texture.
