Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded rotisserie or leftovers)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 4 slices thick, crusty bread (such as sourdough or rustic country loaf)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), to taste

Optional Variations & Garnishes

  • Diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper for spice (optional)
  • Shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese (for broiling)
  • Fresh thyme sprigs or chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • Butter or oil for toasting bread
  • Lemon wedge (for squeezing before serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in flour to create a roux. Slowly add chicken broth and cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer until the mixture thickens into a smooth, velvety sauce. Fold in the shredded cooked chicken and mixed vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley.
  2. Toast the Bread: While the filling thickens, toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crisp. Use sturdy, thick slices that will hold up under the soupy filling without becoming soggy.
  3. Assemble the Soupy Toasts: Spoon a generous but manageable amount of warm chicken pot pie filling over each slice of toast. Be careful not to overload so that the toast remains firm enough to pick up and enjoy.
  4. Serve Immediately: Serve each soupy toast fresh while the bread is still crisp and the filling is warm, creamy, and comforting. Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or chopped parsley and add a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread to help prevent sogginess when topped with moist filling.
  • Keep the filling creamy and spoonable—not too thick or overcooked—to maintain the perfect soupy texture.
  • Warm bread plates before serving to help keep the toast crisp longer.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice when serving to balance richness.
  • Use fresh herbs sprinkled just before serving for a burst of fresh aroma and flavor.
  • Leftover filling can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat filling gently on medium-low heat, adding broth or cream if needed to loosen thickness.
  • Toast fresh bread or re-toast leftover slices for best texture before serving.
