Two layers of flaky pie crust hold a creamy filling loaded with chicken and vegetables. This creamy chicken pot pie is a perfect comfort food meal and is a perfect way to use up some leftover chicken or turkey.
The filling of this fabulously easy chicken pot pie recipe is perfectly savory and loaded with flavor and texture. Chunks of chicken, bits of potato and lots of veggies in a perfect sauce all between two layers of buttery pie crust.
It is one of our absolute favorites because it is an all in one meal that is filling and delicious. If your family and friends are anything like ours, they will start requesting it again after the first bite!
If the only pot pies you have ever had come in a little red box… just wait… your mind is going to be blown if you try this one.
We had those pot pies as kids sometimes too. A few chunks of meat and veggies floating in a crust full of gravy.
The best part was getting to carve our initials in the frozen crust of the pot pie that was ours before it went into the oven. That way we could be sure we were getting the right one when it came out!
This is something completely different. It is plumb full of veggies, chicken and potatoes. There is a creamy sauce with notes of garlic and thyme that covers it all, making it warm and delicious and flavorful.

It is classic comfort food at it’s finest. Eating mixed vegetables is a lot more palatable when they are covered in a sour cream and cream of chicken sauce with just enough garlic and herbs.
What a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It is like a warm hug on a cold day!
We often eat it on its own as a full meal, but it would be great with a side salad or a roasted veggie. You could roast some squash or brussels sprouts while the pie cooks.
Make Ahead Instructions
This is great as a make ahead meal. Just assemble up to the point where you brush it with milk. Cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator until dinner time.
Place it on the counter and let it start coming to room temperature as you preheat the oven. Brush with milk and add 5-10 minutes to the bake time to make sure it is cooked through.
You may want to keep an eye on the crust to make sure it doesn’t over brown. If it starts looking too dark, cover with foil or a pie shield.

Ham Broccoli and Cheese Pot Pie is another one of my husband’s favorites. He thinks it is a very close second to the chicken recipe!
If you like the flavors in this pot pie, but don’t want to have to make the pie, then you will love my creamy chicken pot pie soup. It is based on this recipe but in soup form. I like to crumble up bits of pie crust or bake biscuits to put on top.
Or make this pot pie into a one pot pasta dish. My creamy one pot chicken and noodles is another fun twist on these flavors!
Storage
Wrap leftover chicken pot pie in plastic wrap, or aluminum foil or place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the pot pie for up to three months.

How do you keep the bottom crust from getting soggy. Also are they special instruction to prepare recipe for 20-30 servings
The high oven temperature and long bake time is enough to cook the bottom crust. If you are worried, you can put the pie plate on a preheated baking stone or cast iron pan. You will have to make multiple pies to feed that many people. I hope you like it.
@Carlee,
Have you baked this casserole in a large aluminum pan.
I have not, but you could. You could even skip the bottom crust if you want and then roll a large sheet of pastry for the top.
Can it be frozen before you brake it?
It can. I would do it in a metal or foil pan if you can, then put it in the refrigerator the night before to thaw. It may take a few extra minutes to get heated through, but it will still be great!
This is the perfect dinner for the winter we are having! As I was reading your post, I was wondering if MiMi had any posts for making crust…. thank you for linking to it!
What size pan did you use? It sounds like it would need a deep dish pie pan judging from the amount of yummy ingredients in the recipe.
A 9 inch deep dish is definitely the way to go! This pot pie is loaded with goodness. I hope you enjoy it!
Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite meals ever! I'm pinning this recipe! I want to make it really soon!!!

It really is good, I hope you give it a go. Pot pie is so delicious, isn't it?
I could eat several helpings of this creamy chicken pot pie. It looks amazing!
Me too, it is sooooo good!
I've always been the WORST at making pie crusts, so pot pies have always deterred me, but dang, this looks delicious! I'm definitely going to be trying this for all my boys! Happy Friday!
You can always get the refrigerated ones, nobody will know or care!
Another perfect comforting food from MiMi. I’m going to try this when the boys are all home as each one will love it. Happy Friday Friend xo
They are going to love it, my brothers and husband do. One brother has requested it for his birthday dinner multiple times!
It's cooler out this week so I plan to make this again for family dinner Saturday. I'm planning to make a cheddar broccoli chicken pot pie too. If it's a keeper maybe you'll let me do another guest post. I plan to make another flavor of homemade ice cream too since it's technically still summer.
Good, because I need better pictures! This was on my list to make in early fall so I could get some more photos to choose from. 😉
