Big Sky Bites: Lazy Chicken Pot Pie

Wintertime cooking is a veritable catch-22—while the cold weather intensifies your cravings for something warm and hearty, the motivation, nay necessity, to maximize your time outside before the sun sets leaves you with little time or energy to shop, prep and cook a meal. Enter the Lazy Chicken Pot Pie, a piping-hot dish combining a choice selection of my favorite comfort foods, baked into soul-nurturing goodness: creamy soup, rotisserie chicken, buttery Pillsbury dough and, of course, a bounty of cheese. The dish can be prepped in about 10 minutes, and in advance if needed, aka it’ll be waiting in earnest for your forks and knives once you return from your hike, ski or long day at work.
Oven temp: 375 F
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 10 ounce can of condensed cream of chicken soup
- 10 ounce can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small bag of vegetables, frozen
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F and spray an 8-by-11 inch glass pan with nonstick spray
- In a large stove pot, combine condensed soups with two cans full of water and set burner to medium
- Add the bag of frozen vegetables, salt and pepper and stir until combined
- Turn the heat up a touch until the filling mixture bubbles
- Shred the entire rotisserie chicken and add to the pot
- Stir to combine and remove from heat
- Pour the pie filling into the pan and sprinkle the top with liberal dose of shredded cheese, chef’s preference
- Unroll the can of crescent rolls without breaking them apart, keeping the dough in one long sheet
- Gently lay it across the top of the pan and stretch to fit, tucking the excess down into the sides of the pan
- Place the pie into the oven, placing a cookie pan on a rack underneath to catch drips
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown
- Enjoy
Tips:
- The crescent roll version makes for a softer crust. If you prefer a crispier crust, you can try a can of biscuits or pre-made pie dough instead.
- Another set of ingredients to bring into the mix is varied vegetables. Try: mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, spinach or potatoes.
- This is the perfect recipe to keep handy for post-Thanksgiving leftovers—substitute chicken for 3-4 cups of leftover turkey for a turkey pot pie.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.

Noon until 6PM.
