    Classic Chicken Pot Pie

    Published: Nov 30, 2020 · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    My first memories of a classic chicken pot pie is having the frozen one from Stouffer’s. I actually still will have one occasionally because they are tasty and has the nostalgia that reminds me of why I fell in love with them in the first place. Chicken pot pie’s are the meal you want on a cold fall or winter night because it’s going to warm you from the inside out. It’s like a warm hug you didn’t know you needed. Making it yourself isn’t really hard and you will have a whole new appreciation for the dish.

    Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients

    I am not a baker so I do not have a homemade pie crust recipe. Maybe one day down the line I would love to master one but store brought is the way to go. You can even throw biscuits on top and really jazz things up. 

    The recipe requires cooked shredded or diced chicken. I have a recipe for shredded chicken that can be used for this recipe. You can make your own shredded/diced chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. That works great and cuts down on cooking time. Don’t be afraid to cut some corners to get dinner on the table.

    The veggies are a mix of fresh and frozen. You can maybe find a whole frozen mixed veggie bag to throw in or you can do mostly fresh with some frozen peas. Frozen peas are a must because no one wants to go through the process of fresh peas… no one.
