Select Ingredients

Chicken Pot Pie ingredients: cooked chopped chicken breast, pie crusts, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar, milk, and steamable mixed vegetables.
  • Cooked, boneless skinless chicken breasts - to save time, you can use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken.
  • Mixed vegetables - I prefer to use the frozen steam bags of mixed vegetables to make it extra easy!
  • Pie crust - you'll want to let it warm up just slightly, otherwise the refrigerated pie crust likes to stick to itself and tear.

Recipe Tips & Variations

➡️ Use Pre-Cooked Chicken - Rotisserie chicken or leftover baked chicken works perfectly and saves you time.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make Chicken Pot Pie ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the pot pie, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Bake it straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to ensure the filling is hot and bubbly.

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Absolutely. Fresh vegetables work great, but you may need to cook them slightly before adding them to the filling so they're tender after baking.

Can I use rotisserie chicken for Chicken Pot Pie?

Yes! Rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken works perfectly and makes this recipe much faster and easier. Just shred it before adding it to the filling.

    Love this meal! I made it ahead of time before heading out for a busy evening of kid activities and it was ready to heat when we got home. My kids love it.
