Easy Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Chicken Pot Pie is one of my family’s favorite dinner. A flakey crust with a delicious filling loaded with shredded chicken, peas, carrots, potatoes, spices and more is the perfect comfort food. Sure, you can buy frozen chicken pot pies from the store or the giant fresh pot pies from Costco (which I’m not sure they sell anymore!) but it’s just as easy and actually tastier to make your own.

While this ultimate dinner pie may look intimidating or something only your grandmother could successfully pull off, it’s actually super easy for you to make. Anyone can make this recipe and once you do, you’ll thank me a hundred times over. It will soon be your go-to dinner recipe for weekly dinners after you try it.

CAN I MAKE THIS CHICKEN POT PIE AHEAD OF TIME?

One of the greatest things about this pot pie (besides the taste!) is that you can make it ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze it until you need to bake it. Yep, this is food prep at its best. Make a few pies, throw them in the freezer, and you’ll have a delicious, easy dinner anytime you’d like.

CHICKEN THE EASY WAY – ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Sure, can buy chicken breasts, cook them, shred it and then use that chicken but that seems like extra work, doesn’t it. I think the best chicken to use in this homemade pot pie is one of those rotisserie chickens that you can grab from the grocery store. No cooking involved with the chicken! Only shred the chicken off and your chicken is ready to go for the recipe and tastes amazing! NOTE: My husband hands down thinks shredded chicken is better in this recipe instead of cubed or chopped chicken!

CAN I LEAVE OUT THE BOTTOM CRUST?

Some people don’t like as much crust. That’s not me and I’m not sure who you are, but I know you are out there. For those who want to cut back on the crust, you can definitely leave off the bottom crust and just put the pot pie filling straight in your pie pan and top it with one crust. I would still spray the bottom of the pie pan with cooking spray so it doesn’t stick but you don’t have to have the bottom crust if that doesn’t suit you.
