Easy Chicken Pot Pie Is A Winner

Winner winner, easy chicken dinner! When it comes to classic recipes that the whole family loves, this recipe comes to mind first. My family always smiles big when they know they’re getting this delicious chicken pot pie for dinner! And believe me, it tastes like you spent hours slaving over a hot stove.

Even though it tastes like you put all your effort into it, this easy pot pie takes little effort to whip up, making it one of my favorite weeknight dinners! I’ve had plenty of pot pies in my life – I’ve had them made totally from scratch, from the freezer section at the grocery store, and from famous restaurants. Guess what? This recipe beats them all. 

This pot pie is creamy, flaky, and oh so rich. It’s one of the most delectable dinners I make on a monthly basis, especially during the chillier months! There’s nothing better than a big, heaping serving of hearty pot pie after being outside in the cold.

How to Make Easy Chicken Pot Pie

(full printable recipe at the end of this post)

You only need 6 ingredients to make this delicious dinner that will feed your whole family! And, it only takes about half an hour to make this pot pie. I’m sure you’re starting to see why I make this easy chicken pot pie recipe as often as I do!

  1. First things first – preheat your oven to 400° F. It may seem pretty high, but the high temperature is key to cooking this pot pie quickly. 
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, warm up the rotisserie chicken on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Stir it occasionally until the chicken is nice and warm. 
  3. Time to make the filling! Once the chicken has been heated up, add the vegetables and stir in the condensed soup. Mix the ingredients together until they’re fully combined, then add salt and pepper. 
  4. Stir the mixture over medium-high heat until heated through. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent burning! 
  5. Spoon the warm filling mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Make sure the filling is spread evenly, that way it will cook perfectly all the way through. 
  6. Cover the warm filling with the pie crust, then seal and flute the edges however you’d like. Cut several slits into the crust to allow steam to escape while it bakes. 
  7. Lastly, place the pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake the pot pie for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Easy Chicken Pot Pie Tips

Do you prefer a thinner chicken pot pie filling instead of a dense and creamy one? Just add a splash of milk when you add the condensed soup. Although I prefer my pot pies to be thick, it’s also delicious when thinned with milk! 

Prevent crust from burning. Since we’re cooking at high heat, the crust might burn in the last half of the baking time. A wonderful way to avoid this is to place strips of foil over the crust for the last 15 minutes of baking! This method allows the crust to still cook all the way through and turn that beautiful golden brown color without burning. I always do this, and my crust turns out perfect every time.

Need a quick way to thaw frozen veggies? Simply place the veggies in a colander, then rinse them with warm water. Make sure to drain them well before adding them to the mixture, though! Too much water will ruin the texture of the filling.

Storage and Variations

How long will this chicken pot pie stay fresh? In an airtight container in the fridge, this easy dinner will stay fresh for 3-5 days! To reheat, you can use the microwave or the oven. If you choose the oven, just reheat the pie at a low temperature like 300° F, and be sure to check on it every few minutes to make sure it’s not burning. As much as I love my microwave, using the oven to reheat will prevent the crust from getting soggy.

Can I freeze it? This is actually one of my favorites recipes to freeze! I personally like to freeze it before I cook it. So, prepare the pie as you normally would, but instead of putting it in the oven, put it in an airtight container and freeze it for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake as usual. It’s a great way to plan ahead!

Variations

In place of condensed soup, you could try using a jarred gravy instead! It’s a delicious way to make this pie even more flavorful and creamy. Whether it’s homemade gravy or store-bought, it’ll be a great addition to this recipe.

Have any leftover turkey from the holidays? Perfect! You can easily swap the rotisserie chicken for cooked turkey, and make a turkey pot pie instead. Turkey pies are just as delicious! It’s an awesome way to use any leftover meat you have from Thanksgiving or Christmas.
