There’s nothing quite like a warm, homemade chicken pot pie to bring comfort to the dinner table.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 pre-made pie crusts

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

Splash of milk

2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded

Half a small bag of frozen mixed vegetables

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Thyme, to taste

Butter spray

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, I combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, a splash of milk, shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme until everything is evenly mixed.

I place one pie crust into a pie pan, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides.

I pour the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared crust.

I cover the filling with the second pie crust, seal the edges, and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape while baking.

I bake the pie for about 40 minutes.

Once baked, I remove the pie from the oven, lightly spray the top with butter, and broil it for about 2 minutes until the crust becomes beautifully golden.

I let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations

I like to customize this chicken pot pie depending on what I have available. Sometimes I substitute the rotisserie chicken with leftover turkey, especially after the holidays. I also enjoy adding diced potatoes or sautéed mushrooms for extra heartiness. When I want a richer flavor, I mix in a handful of shredded cheddar cheese before baking. For a little extra freshness, I occasionally stir chopped parsley into the filling just before assembling the pie.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover chicken pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If I want to keep it longer, I wrap individual slices tightly and freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, I warm it in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through and the crust becomes crisp again. When I’m in a hurry, I use the microwave, although the crust won’t be quite as flaky.

FAQs

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Yes. I simply chop the vegetables into small pieces and cook them until slightly tender before mixing them into the filling.

Can I make this chicken pot pie ahead of time?

Absolutely. I often assemble the pie a day in advance, keep it refrigerated, and bake it just before serving.

Can I freeze the pie before baking?

Yes. I wrap the assembled pie tightly and freeze it for up to 3 months. When I’m ready to bake it, I add a little extra baking time if cooking from frozen.

What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?

I can replace it with another can of cream of chicken soup or use cream of celery soup for a slightly different flavor.

How do I know when the pie is fully cooked?

I look for a deeply golden crust and bubbling filling around the edges. Those signs let me know the pie is hot and ready to serve.

Conclusion

I love how this Easy Peasy Chicken Pot Pie delivers classic comfort with minimal effort. The flaky crust, creamy filling, and tender chicken make every bite satisfying, while the simple preparation makes it a recipe I can rely on again and again. Whether I’m feeding my family or preparing a cozy dinner for myself, this delicious pot pie always earns a place on my table.
