Ingredients

1 deep dish pastry for double crust
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package portobello mushrooms, chopped
1 (10.75 ounce) can reduced-fat, reduced-sodium condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 (10.75 ounce) can reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
½ cup chicken broth, or more as needed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ (14.5 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a deep dish pie pan with cooking spray. Arrange one pie crust on the bottom of the pan.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Add the portobello mushrooms; cook and stir until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups, chicken broth, cream cheese, and tomatoes. Stir in more chicken broth if the mixture becomes too thick. Stir in the mixed vegetables and red pepper flakes.
Pour chicken mixture into the prepared pan, reserving any leftover filling. Place the top crust on top, crimping the edges of the crusts to seal. Poke 4 to 5 holes in the top crust. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Serve with the leftover chicken mixture.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables in your pot pie. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Cajun seasoning is a great place to start, but you can also add other spices like paprika, cumin, or thyme.
Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding it to the pot pie. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken.
If you're using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Serve the pot pie immediately or let it cool slightly before serving. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
