Easy Chicken Pot Pie
yield: 8 SERVINGS
prep time: 10 MINUTES
cook time: 45 MINUTES
total time: 55 MINUTES
Here's a comforting chicken pot pie that can be compiled in a few minutes and results in a creamy chicken filling with a yummy, flaky crust.
Ingredients
- refrigerated pie crusts, 2-count
- 12 oz. canned chicken, or cooked shredded chicken
- 14 oz. can mixed vegetables, drained
- 10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prep a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick spray. Lay down the first pie crust on the bottom of the pie pan.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, mixed veggies, cream of chicken, and spices. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, and pour into the pie pan.
3
Place the second crust on top and pinch the ends together. Use a fork to poke holes in the top of the crust.
4
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is cooked and browned. Check towards the end of cook time to see if outside pieces of crust are becoming too brown. If so, cover the outside crust with pieces of foil to avoid burning.
5
Serve warm and enjoy!
Hip tips for making the easiest Chicken Pot Pie recipe:
- I love keeping canned chicken in the pantry for quick meals like this, but you can always use shredded rotisserie chicken, or boil a couple of chicken breasts on the stove first before making this.
- I used a can of mixed veggies, however, frozen veggies will work here too!
- Don’t have cream of chicken soup? I’ve made this pot pie using this homemade cream of chicken soup recipe from Food.com, and it worked out great! Chicken gravy is another great sub.
- Some readers mentioned adding cream cheese, sour cream, or shredded cheese for an extra layer of richness in this hearty meal.
- We love the convenience of store-bought pie crusts, but of course, you can make your own pie crust instead if preferred.
- Herbes De Provence is my favorite way to season things like chicken pot pie or chicken noodle soup, but you can season with any type of poultry seasoning as desired. Since everything is essentially cooked, you can even taste the filling before baking to see if it needs more salt, pepper, etc.
- If the outside of your crust is browning too much, place foil around the outer crust halfway through cook time. I want to buy one of these handy pie shields soon for baking pie crusts evenly!
- If you’re chicken pot pie obsessed like us, check out this simple sheet pan chicken pot pie and also slow cooker chicken pot pie soup! They are both yummy, too.
Easy chicken pot pie is ultimate comfort food success!
Sometimes we all could use a quick, inexpensive meal, and this one was a total winner for us. I know it’s not super gourmet, but it’s definitely comforting and requires minimal ingredients and prep!
Here are 5 budget-friendly weekday recipes!
I make this all the time. I used our store rotisserie chicken, fresh cut carrots, onion, and cream of chicken with store bought crusts. It’s so delicious.
Awesome – thanks for sharing!
Thank you for including the suggestions for substitutes…especially recipe for the soup…I can figure out how to make it dairy free!
Yes and it is so good! I think you’ll like that sub in. 👍
I make something similar but I use chicken gravy instead of cream of chicken soup. I also add a layer of shredded parmesan on top and then the crust over that. I’ll try your variation next time!
Oh yum that sounds great too!
I make this and add cream cheese…so yummy! My kids love it!!!
Oh love that idea Laura! Thanks for sharing!
So Marie calendar Makes a chicken pot pie soup. I used to just dump that in a pie crust and bake it. It’s been a long time since I’ve done it though.
Oh interesting! Sounds yum 😋
I literally made this last night….I thought I made it up! 🙂
Ha awesome – I love how easy it is!
yes, me too! I really thought I was being clever! I was just trying to figure out something different to make as we’ve been home having the same meals over and over! The family loved it (well, not my boys but they are such picky eaters do they don’t count in my like it or not survey!) 😀
You are clever! 🙂
I had never used Herbs de Provence until you posted about it on the sheet pan pot pit. Wow. Loved it. TY!
Oh yay! Yes, my fav. <3 Thanks Jen!
I do this same pot pie but I add and big spoonful of sour cream and a handful of shredded cheese. Yummy.
Wow…I was just looking at pot pie recipes. This one is much simpler than the one I was considering. Do you just add the sour cream and cheddar cheese directly in the filling and bake it like that?
Yep. I do not measure anything. Just put in what looks good.
Thank you for responding, Michelle. I’ve been craving pot pie this week (odd, I know, lol 🙂 and this sounds like a good way to pump up the flavor.
Yum! I will try that next time – yum!
I make my chicken pot pie using 1 packet of Lipton Recipe Secrets Savory Herb & Garlic mixed with 1 C of Milk (or sometimes I’ll use 1/2 c Half n Half or HWC with 1/2 c water. Evaporated milk works in a pinch too!) . I saute 1/2 C chopped onion with a stalk or two of sliced celery. Add the mixture and simmer til it thickens up a bit. Add in frozen veggies. I use about 1 C each carrots, peas & french style green beans. Pour in pie crust, top with 2nd pie crust. poke holes in top. bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes. This is the hardest part, but let pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. So yummy!!
Oh I love those ideas Mel! Thanks for sharing <3 I know it helps everyone when we can post ideas like that!
I forgot the chicken part LOL! I poach a chicken breast, then shred (or dice) and add in with the veggie mixture.
Great recipe idea ! Im sort of out of quick and easy recipe ideas. its just my mother and i so i will make 2 individual ones as opposed to 1. I always find that if you try to divvy it up to more than one plate, someone gets more “inside goodies” and someone else gets more soupy sauce etc.. Besides I’ve never been a fan of sharing !! 🤣🤣
Oh haha that’s a fun idea for individual pies! Yum- enjoy!
Y’all. Stop what you’re doing and make this for dinner. I saw the recipe this morning, had everything in the pantry, and made it for dinner. Super easy. Super tasty. My picky-eater husband even loved it!
Oh yay! Thanks for sharing Carmen!
Thank you so much for this recipe! My family loved it. It was so easy to make.
Oh I’m so glad! Thanks for coming back to share Betty!
I saw your sheet pot pie recipe first and had turkey in fridge so I followed the recipe than I put in a pie pan just like yours – turned out GREAT- two meals for us me and DH
Oh wow that is so great! Thanks Janice!
For my veggies I use a bag of frozen california mix–broccoli, cauliflower, carrots- and add a few chopped onions. Gotta love chicken potpie!!
Wow! I was a hero tonight! Everyone loved it. I’ve had that can of chicken in my pantry for YEARS and I’m so happy to finally find a use for it!
Thank you! Delish. I read a lot of comments -added sour cream & shredded cheddar cheese to mine as a commenter described- great! So good!
Oh yay! I’m so glad it turned out 💕
My Mom used to make this ALL the time, to the point I have been burned out for the last 30 years. But anyway, she used 1 pie crust, 1 cream of chkn, 1 cream of celery, 1 can veg all and chicken. The 1 pie crust and 2 cans of soup keep it from drying out when you reheat it for the next 2-4 weeks for leftovers. :{
I made this tonight and it was a huge hit with my family! I cooked the chicken in the crockpot and then shredded it. I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great! Thank you so much!
Oh I’m so glad Amy! Yay. Thanks for sharing 💕
Looks delicious 😋. Thank you for sharing 😊
Sure! Enjoy!
Thank you Lina! This is absolutely delicious – it’s a new favorite!! Thanks for all you do and take care!
Oh you too! Thanks Michelle ❤️
I use cream of potato instead of cream of chicken and it turns out delicious
Oh yay! That’s so great to hear! ❤️🙌
I’m planning on making this tonight. Bought what I didn’t have. I’m feeling uneasy about using canned chicken. All that have used the Kirkland canned chicken…..please reassure me that it’s amazing! LOL
We love Kirkland canned chicken in this recipe! YUM!
One can is 12 .5 oz (undrained)….drained it’s 7 oz. Do I use two cans?
I just use i can drained.
I use the Members Mark,( Sam’s club), chicken and it’s delicious as well.
Cream of anything isn’t very good or the healthiest. I think I will substitute. Also, we think store bought crusts taste “packaged” and cheap? anyone else think this?
Love this.
Do you have to use that Herbes de Provence? I’ve never heard of it, but then I’m not a very good cook.
OH, you should really try it!!! My sister-in-law introduced me to it a couple of years back. It’s an easy mix that can be add to a lot of dishes for a quick upgrade.❤️
It really does not add much more time to add a little heavy cream (or Light cream or even milk) a tablespoon of flour and your favorite spices. I stay away from canned soup.
Thanks for the easy suggestions on replacing the canned soup, Lel!!🥰
sometimes i double the soup and instead of a top crust i use a small cookie scoop to put balls of mashed potatoes around the top
Great idea, Nancy! 🤗💗 Thanks for sharing how you modified this recipe!
Yummmy! I will be making this sometime this week, maybe even tonight! Thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome, Leslie! Hope you enjoy it!💕
I love chicken pot pie. Since there is only 2 of us, I lay out 1 pie crust on my parchment paper covered, baking sheet, fold it over gently, press down the center VERY gently, then lay back out into a circle again. This shows me where the center is. I then fill one side with the filling..leaving a good 1/2″ without filling. I then fold the other side over and crimp. Poke a few air vents in the top. brush with egg wash and bake at 400 for 35-40 minutes. Like a big ol chicken pot pie calzone. Gives us 4 servings along with a small salad.
Hubs loves it.
Thanks for sharing how you make a smaller servings for you and your husband. It seems quick and easy. We sure appreciate it, Ohioace! 💕
I made this yesterday using leftover Thanksgiving turkey instead of chicken and it was so delicious! And it was ridiculously easy! This is going to be a regular monthly meal in my house, so good. Thanks for such a fast, cheap, easy and, most importantly, delicious recipe!
Yay!!! You’re so welcome!! Glad you enjoyed it!!!🥰
