How to Make Chicken Pot Pie
With a little prep work, this recipe is super easy to make! It uses refrigerated pie crusts for added convenience or skip the crust completely and try making soup version.
How to Make the Filling:
- Boil potatoes until soft.
- Saute onion in butter, add flour and seasonings to create a roux.
- Whisk in broth and milk until smooth.
- Add cooked chicken, potatoes, and frozen vegetables.
How to Assemble:
- Spoon filling mixture into the pie crust and top with the second crust.
- Crimp the edges and cut slits to allow the steam to escape.
Optional – Make a simple egg wash by scrambling a raw egg and brushing it over the top to help seal the edges and give it a shiny, golden color once it’s baked.
- Bake until golden brown. Let it rest 15 minutes before serving.
Or try making individual servings with this mini pot pie recipe.

But a cold salad on the side with a tangy vinaigrette makes a cool and crunchy addition that rounds out this wholesome family dinner!

- 2 refrigerated pie crusts uncooked
Instructions

Could I double this & use a 13 X 9 dish instead? What about the 2 crusts? Would I need 4?
Thank you, hoping to make this for Thanksgiving.
Hi Melissa, I have only made this recipe as listed but it should work. I would make a homemade pie crust and roll it to size to fit your casserole dish. You will have to let us know how it turns out!
This was delicious! I made it tonight with gluten free flour and pie crusts. Definitely will be making again!
So happy you love the chicken pot pie Holly!
This sounds really good. Mine is very similar. But before putting the pie crust on top, I roll some celery seed into the pie crust. It makes it a little more savory.
Yummy Sheila! That’s sound so good!
