Easy Chicken Pot Pie with Flaky Herb Crust
Looking for an easy, cozy winter’s dinner? I’ve got you covered! This Chicken Pot Pie with a Flaky Herb Crust is the heart warming and satisfying meal that makes for a perfect dinner and great leftovers ✨
This is a very nostalgic dinner for me because my grandma and mom would make it all the time during the winter months! It’s creamy, easy to make, and oh so satisfying. Fit to feed a crowd, as they would say!
Can chicken pot pie be made ahead of time?
Yes! You can fully make the chicken pot pie, let cool completely, then cover tightly with foil to store in the fridge up to 2 days in advance. Reheat at 350F covered for 15 minutes, then uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, until warmed fully through.
Can you freeze chicken pot pie?
Absolutely! We do this all the time, as it makes for amazing weeknight dinners when you crave something homemade without the effort LOL
Simply cover the unbaked pie tightly with plastic wrap, seal in a freezer-safe bag, and store in the freezer up to 2 months.
To cook, I recommend letting the pie thaw in the fridge the night before or just cover with foil to bake frozen an extra 20ish minutes.
What kind of chicken can you use for chicken pot pie?
- Rotisserie Chicken
- Shredded Chicken
- Finely Chopped Chicken
How to store and reheat leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3-4 days.
Now, it’s time to grab our aprons and begin baking deliciousness! ’till next time! xxL
