The easiest chicken pot pie recipe! It’s ridiculously easy to make! Such a delicious, comfort dinner that the whole family is sure to love. Easy, good and also cheap meal for your family that will fill their belly.
I’ve been making this Chicken Pot Pie for about 20 years. It’s easy, comforting and so yummy!
The ingredients aren’t crazy or hard to find either making this a perfect dinner for any family.
I will also say that this recipe is awesome to make ahead of time. A lot of times I’ll make double the amount I need and freeze it in a plastic bag (minus the crust) so that the next time I make it, it’s already half done!
Ingredients needed for chicken pot pie
Like I said, the ingredients are super easy to find, most of the time everyone has them on hand or can easily get them at a decent price. I would say the most expensive thing is going to be the chicken, making this meal a meal that’s also easy on the bank account.

How to make Chicken Pot Pie
Cook and cube chicken and potatoes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together gravy and cream of chicken.
Mix together cooked chicken, potatoes, frozen vegetables and gravy mix.
Place mixture in a pie crust and cover with the second pie crust. Press edges of pie crusts together to make a seal. Use a knife to cut a few slits on the top of the pie to help steam escape.
Cook for 45-60 minutes, until crust is golden.
Let sit for 5 minutes after pulling it out of the oven before serving.
Variations
This is a very basic recipe of Chicken Pot pie. There are some things you can do to switch it up a bit.
- Sweet potatoes – instead of using russet potatoes, you can use sweet potatoes. It definitely changes the taste of the pie, but not in a bad way!
- Turkey – A subtle change to make is using turkey instead of chicken. They are very similar in texture and taste that it really won’t change the pie much at all.
- Vegetables – You can add in whatever veggies you want! Switch it up to the ones you like or have on hand!
- Quinoa – Make it as is and then add in a bit of quinoa!
- Gravy – If you like runnier or gravy inside, feel free to add in more. As long as the crust will bake (and it will) use whatever you like!
- Make your own crust – This is an option I lean towards more often than not. I’m in this, make everything from scratch because it’s better and less ingredients, frame of mind so I tend to make my own a lot.
- Crust – You can also use biscuits and just roll them out and place in a pan. Biscuits aren’t typically as flaky as a pie crust, but still delicious and works wonderfully.
Notes
- I like to use rotisserie chicken with this meal. It makes it easy, and the chicken is delicious.
- I usually boil the potatoes to cook them.
- If you want a runnier gravy, add in a bit of milk or chicken broth til you get the consistency you want.
- One way to make this a super easy meal is to use biscuits (homemade or store bought) and make the rest of the meal on the stove and spoon it over the biscuits instead of using a pie crust.
- I like to serve this with a nice green salad. It’s already got the starch from the potatoes, vegetables, protein and carbs from the crust, so there isn’t really much else that’s needed. It’s like a whole meal in a pan type of dish. But a fresh green salad is always a great addition.
- This will stay good in the fridge for a few days after baking it. Ours doesn’t typically last long, everyone will eat it as leftovers and that NEVER happens.
Thanks!
If you’re on a mission to make more things from scratch for your family like I am, I think you’ll enjoy these Homemade Granola Bars. They are SUPER easy to make, and my entire family loves them!
I also like to make this salad. It can be a complete meal (I like to make it and keep it in the fridge for my lunch for the week. YUM!) or it can also be a side. It pairs well with some grilled chicken or even some salmon. I make this a lot during the summertime.
