Tips

  • One of our most popular recipes of all time, this classic chicken pot pie recipe has all the goods: a flaky, buttery crust, a creamy sauce and a hearty mix of chicken and vegetables. Plus, it’s super easy to make, which makes it a great recipe for novice cooks and busy families alike. If chicken is a staple protein in your family and you love this chicken pot pie, just wait.

  • Make a foil collar (or pie crust shield) to protect the edges of the pastry from overbrowning. Place strips of foil to cover crust during the last 15 or 20 minutes of baking.
  • A standard 9-inch glass pie plate works best for this recipe.
  • The only complicated part of making a pot pie is the pastry. By using a refrigerated dough you’re left with making a quick, savory gravy that can be filled with leftover cooked chicken, turkey, or ham and a good handful of veggies. A dash of poultry seasoning or some finely chopped fresh sage will enhance the flavor of the sauce.
