Easy, beginner pot pie that your family will love.
Came out absolutely perfect. Winter comfort food. If you're not too bothered about calories you should try this: I dismissed the milk and the chicken broth and instead added a can of Campbell's condensed chicken soup with a cup of water, the mixture was thick and creamy and even more chickeny! Really nice touch. This pie lasted me and my boyfriend dinner and 2 lunches for work the next day! I will definitely be making this again and inviting people over to try :p
Read MoreDefinitely not the Chicken Pot Pie my mom made. My suggestions: add some thyme, sage & other herbs, omit the canned veggies & use steamed fresh or frozen for better flavor & nutrients, add sauteed onions & mushrooms if you like them. It's not that hard to make these changes, but well worth it to make an impressive pot pie.

I sauteed about 1/2 cup of chopped celery along with the onion and made this using fresh carrots and skipped the peas and potatoes because I was out. I have an onion hater in the house so I grated the onion using my microplane zester. Worked like a charm - he didn't detect the onions and I got the flavor I wanted! I chose fresh carrots because in my experience the canned vegetables seem to be mushy and fresh is best in my house. I really like store rotisserie chicken and using that cut down on time of having to cook it yourself. I also added about 1/2 teaspoon of sage for a little more flavor. I used chicken broth called for but I highly recommend using chicken stock. It is deeper in color and flavor. I thought this tasted ok. My husband liked it.
Just made this tonight with a few small modifications. I used a bag of frozen mixed veggies and I cut up Russett potatoes instead of the ones from the can. My husband said it was the best pot pie I've made yet.
This was the easiest chicken pot pie I have ever made. My family really loves this. I did not have any canned carrots so when I boiled the chicken breast I added carrots to the water along with some chicken base. I also cubed a couple of potatoes as well and boiled with chicken and carrots. For the chicken stock I used the water I boiled chicken in.. Was outstanding.. Will definitely make again and again.. I use the sauce recipe for the gravy in my chicken and noodles.. Thank you Samantha for sharing this wonderful recipe
Followed the recipe with these exceptions:. Instead of chicken broth and milk, I took someone else's suggestion and added a can of condensed cream of chicken soup and 1 c of chicken broth. I couldn't find canned carrots and peas so I just used a can of mixed vegetables, drained. I cut up the canned potatoes to bite size pieces. I also used canned chicken and cut back on the salt because of using a lot of canned items. It turned out GREAT! The whole family loved it and I am going to have to make 2 pot pies next time so that everyone can have seconds.
This was an excellent beginners recipe. To add more flavor, I added 1/2 teaspoon sage, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon thyme. I also precooked the bottom pie crust for about 4 minutes. I rolled out both pie crusts with a rolling pin to fit my pie dish better, and let them sit for about 15 minutes to thaw some. I used 3 cups of chicken because I didn't use potatoes. I also brushed the top of the pie crust with eggs before cooking and with melted butter after cooking. - steph for Mom's Chicken Pot Pie

As a citizen of the USA living in Sweden with my Swedish husband and our teenage refugee from Afghanistan (plus two of his friends), no one else in my family had ever before encountered Chicken Pot Pie. When I saw this recipe, I knew I had to make it and to my great disappointment, there was only one small piece left-over for my lunch the next day! GRIN! In other words, it was a complete hit and I have already been requested to make it again SOON!! For a recipe that does not call for the chopping of all fresh vegetables, which therefore makes it a snap to prepare, it was simply AWESOME. I urge you, give yourself and your family a treat and make this soon! Thank you so very, very much Samantha!
Out of 13, only one said it tasted like too much celery , all others liked it a lot ! And that in itself says a lot from a very picky bunch!
I am ashamed as a 30 year old woman to have little to no cooking skills and have finally decided to get serious and learn by trial and error with "easy" recipes like the one. This was supposed to be beginner friendly, and it really was. It tasted great. The only thing is, I used cream instead of milk (because I only had skim and thought it would make it too watery) - it tasted good but i think between the butter and cream it was a little too heavy on the tummy. So next time I'll definitely use milk. The other problem I had was that the bottom crust didn't cook enough. The top looked great and was ready to go, but after cutting it, I saw the bottom was a little doughy. I wonder if I should cook the bottom pastry a little first? Or simply move it to the bottom of my oven instead of the center? Not sure if my oven sucks at giving off bottom heat or if I did something wrong. Other than the doughy bottom crust, this was great!
Just like my Mum used to make. The only difference is that I do not like potatoes in chicken pie so just used fresh peas, carrots and onions. Delicious and easy to make.
I was a little hesitant to try this because it was all canned ingredients, but decided to give it a go because I was feeling lazy. It was so good! My husband said it was the best chicken pot pie he ever had.
this is the most easist chicken pot pie to make. I adjusted it instead of peas and carrots, I put in 2 cans of mix vegatables and made my pie crust from stratch. My family loves this pie !! VERY GOOD !!!!
GREAT,GREAT,GREAT, & Easy and I like easy making it again tonight, this time my family said to make everything but the crust & we will just put it over rice
Very delicious, when the family asks for seconds you know its good. This family doesn't like pea so used corn instead.
OK...I am the world's worst cook....but I made this recipe and followed it to the letter....It is the best thing I have ever made!! I ate half of it myself and had to restrain myself from eating the entire thing! Thanks for this excellent recipe!!!!
Fantastic recipe! I was looking for something to do with my leftover turkey. I made my own crust, used turkey, frozen peas and carrots, and raw potato instead of the suggested recipe ingredients. I also cooked mine 40 minutes and let it set 15 minutes. It turned out perfect. I will make this again with leftover chicken!
This was a great recipe! Easy and delicious. I used a few ideas from other raters, such as using a 1/2 tsp of sage and using a rotisserie chicken. I tried the original recipe of canned peas, carrots and potatoes. They turned out great. I would suggest cutting the potatoes though. Enjoy!
I sauteed a stalk of chopped celery with the onions. I boiled chicken leg quarters all day with seasonings for the chicken so I had my own broth. I added a bag of frozen veggies that I steamed for the least amount of time on the package and left out the potatoes since I didn't have any. This is the best chicken pot pie I have ever had! Everyone in my family had seconds. I am so glad I made the decision to double the recipe even before trying it!! :)
First time I ever made a pot pie. This recipe was very easy to make. I did make a couple small changes. Instead of using 1-3/4 cups of chicken broth, I used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and about one cup of broth. I probably could have used up to 1-1/4 cups. I did use about double the vegetables. With the changes I made, the consistency was perfect! Sparky
Do yourself a favor and boil your fresh potatoes and carrots with your chicken the day before. Extra yummy after being refrigerated overnight. I did use canned peas. I didn't use celery but if I had read the reviews first, I would have. Really good idea and I'll do that next time. This is a delicious recipe. Enjoy!
This is the perfect basic chicken pot pie recipe. Add or subtract any veggies, herbs and seasonings you like. Turned out wonderful and my family loves it! I will make this repeatedly. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Great recipe came out perfect. Only change I made was, since I don't care much for onions, I substitued mushrooms and it tasted great. Best news is I have leftovers and will enjoy again tomorrow night!!
My husband and I loved this. I use a deep-dish pie crust and cover it with the second crust. It is easy and delicious.
No changes made. Husband loved it and it reminded me of what Grandma used to make
This was delicious! I think part of the reason was because I used a homemade broth that was highly seasoned with garlic, onions, and celery. I also added poultry seasoning. I used frozen, not canned, peas and carrots. I baked it in a deep, glass pie dish and I had to cook it nearly 25 minutes longer to get the bottom crust cooked. I wished I had pre-baked the bottom crust a bit as another reviewer suggested. My family really enjoyed it.
Super easy and delicious. Used 2 frozen chicken breasts, baked and diced.Followed recipe exactly, with the one exception of using an onion/celery mix in place of the onion. Will make again. Update: made again using 1 potato, diced and microwaved, 1/2 an onion and 3/4 bag of peas and carrots. Used 2.5 chicken breasts baked with Montreal chicken seasoning. Family loved it.
I mainly used this for a sauce base. Used all fresh veggies steamed in the microwave and crust made from biscuits.
I have made this several times and it always turns out delicious. I do use frozen peas and carrots instead of canned. I also add some poultry seasoning to the filling, adds a lot of flavor.
My gang liked it but not as much as some of the other pot pie recipes on All recipes. Better to use more carrots and if using frozen, be sure to cook the veggies ahead of time.
Delicious. Great recipe, thank you! I Made it with leftover chicken/veggies. I may pre-cook the bottom crust though, next time. It was still doughy.
YUMMY!! The ultimate comfort food!! This pie was easy to put together and was DELICIOUS. I used a frozen, deep dish, two-crust pie shell that has been in my freezer. I cut up frozen roast chicken and used fresh vegetables that I had on hand (I don't do canned vegetables). Those included red onions and carrots plus red pepper, and fresh mushrooms. I used only one small potato and would leave it out the next time as the crust provides plenty of carbs. I chose to add summer savory (I didn't have the thyme that I wanted) to the salt and fresh ground pepper. The pie held together beautifully so that I was able to freeze two individual pieces for upcoming comfort meals. I can't wait to make this again.
Okay- I used fresh carrots, peas and potatoes. This was awesome. Hubby is on his 3rd serving, must be good.....
Made it just like the recipe. Watched while it was in the oven to make sure is was bubbling. Let we for about 25 minutes. Really good. Would not change a thing about the recipe.
Wonderful! I used frozen mixed veggies and cooked a potato instead of using canned products. Will make again!
Used frozen mixed vegetables instead. Worked out great. Easy to make. Tastes great!
I am making it and yet to eat it. No where in the recipe does it mention what temp to bake it at. Instruction says to bake in a preheated oven. Recipe is incomplete. Will try 350f but this can be the difference between success and failure.
Easy and delicious! I cannot say enough about this recipe. I bought a fresh rotisserie chicken and pulled it apart. I also made individual pot pies in ramekins. These were a huge hit. Makes four individual pot pies. Will definitely add it to the rotation!
This was amazing and so simple! I've tried many different pot pie recipes and this one is by far the easiest and probably the best tasting. The only thing I can add is that I seasoned my chicken with Lawrys and baked it - them omitted the salt, and used puff pastry sheets! A definite keeper!
The only change that I made was to use frozen veggies, but it came out fantastic!
This was great whole family loved it. I don't like to change things but I did read some of the reviews of doing the can of chicken condensed soup with chicken broth and I used mixed vegetables cuz I could not find carrots and peas so I did the mixed vegetables Frozen.
The taste was awesome. However, it was too liquid. I used fresh vegetables (carrots, sweet potato, and green beans), and substituted about half of the butter with olive oil. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. I do not know if this was a factor. Next time I will try less liquid to start. And there will be a next time as both my wife and 7 yr old love the taste.
I sautéed rosemary chicken breast for it. I added drippings from that to the the milk/broth mixture. I sautéed garlic with the onions. I used frozen vegetables and left out the potatoes. I also used homemade pie crust. Everything else was the same and it came out awesome!
Easy and tasty! I the only change was to use frozen vegetables since that was what was on hand. Definitely will make again.
I thought it was too easy to be good but the family went crazy over it. Had to double it (but only used 1 can of potatoes) - a pie would barely feed 3 here! Used my Pampered Chef microwave chicken cooker and that did a great job. Added a 1/2 teaspoon thyme for the doubled recipe and may use frozen vegetables next time - the canned carrots and peas were a little too mushy for my taste. Replacing the chicken pot pie recipe I had in my cookbook and making this the new one!
This was really good! I doubled the recipe so it would make two pies, used real not canned food and just boiled the veggies before adding so that they were tender, and made homemade pie crust--YUM besides the work in making the homemade pie crusts this recipe is really quite simple and flexible. June 28, 2016: I have now made this five times and it has become a family favorite. I add and exchange veggies as they are on hand, sometimes I double the sauce to make it extra creamy...truly FANTASTIC!
I love this recipe, it's very simple to alter for two. But, I never use canned veggies when fresh or even frozen are available. I never use broth when stock is in my refrigerator, I also use light cream in place of milk, I do however, take the short cut of the prepared pie crust and use it in a 8" cast iron pan, by using cast iron you never, and I mean never, have a soggy bottom crust. This is a wonderfully tasty and easy dish to prepare!
I didn't think it would be that good because of the canned veggies but didn't have much time so I made it. It was delicious!! My family loved it and is begging for more. Made it exactly as stated except added a little bit of celery too. I then read an article about how canned and frozen veggies are more nutritious than fresh, so hey, keeping it just as it is!! I did use an organic refrigerated pie crust and all organic canned ingredients, and bought a pre-cooked roasted organic chicken at the store. Delicious.
Delicious!I used fresh potatoes and frozen peas, carrots, and green beans instead of canned. We will definitely eat this dish again!
Used recipe but had to change a little bit. I used the Pillsbury tub of gluten free pie crust. I boiled my cut up potatoes, carrots, chicken and frozen peas and added powdered chicken broth base to the water and used that for my broth. I had to use gluten free flour for the broth with dairy free butter and cashew milk. Finished product was beautiful and delicious! Thank you.
Best pot pie ever my dad is pretty picky about his chicken Popeyes and I made this for him and now we only make this one?
I made my very first homemade pot pie tonight from this recipe! It was so easy! I added a second can of peas & carrots. So therefore a bit more salt & pepper. The family loved it! Very creamy filling & so delicious.
This recipe is awesome! Just like the name, it is mom's chicken pot pie! I made a couple changes that include leaving out the potatoes because my 6 year old doesn't like them and she's part Irish, go figure! I used bagged carrots peeled and cut and frozen peas. I measured the butter, flour and onion as the recipe indicated. My little family of three loved it! It tastes just like my mom would make it, I couldn't believe it! Very quick recipe which makes for a happy mamma! I am keeping this one in my recipe box both online and on the counter. Thank you for sharing this!!
I made this with a few modifications suggested in other reviews. I added sliced celery and sautéed it along w/ the onion. I also substituted the broth w/ a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of milk and a teaspoon of garlic herb seasoning. It was creamy & flavorful. My family LOVED it and asked me to make sure to save it so we could make it again. I would add a little more liquid either milk or broth to keep it from getting too thick. Definitely recommend.
I have made this several times and it never disappoints. I use 2 cups frozen peas and carrots or sometimes frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, and corn) instead of canned and nix the potatoes. This is a hit with the whole family even the picky toddler.
My friend and I enjoyed this recipe. I may make it again sometime in the future.
Amazing. I also added some habenero peppers with the onions and it came out amazing!
Made it for the family and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and went for seconds. Deviated from the recipe by using fresh potatoes and frozen vegetables. Cooked the chicken in a country herb seasoning that fit this meal perfectly. Thank you for the guidance!
This best recipe! The skillet makes it so much better. I doubled the chicken and added mushrooms.
This was a fantastic recipe! Unfortunately, I didn't have everything on hand and made a few minor changes. I used a half an onion and sauteed celery, carrots and potatoes with it for about 10 minutes. I didn't have flour so I used a big can of creamy chicken soup. I only added about 1/3 cup of milk to it. I then added about 2 cups of frozen peas and 3 cups of chicken. Once heated through I put everyting in a glass pie dish and used two premade pie crusts for the bottom and top of the pie as suggested. Using the creamy chicken soup added a great chicken flavor as another reviewer stated. I'll make it again the same way but will probably add some jalapenos to see what they might add. It was also very good the next day!! I won't try another recipe for a pot pie.
I used it mainly for the cooking time. I used fresh onions, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and chicken. I precooked these ingredients. I made a sauce with chicken stock thickened with seasoned flour. It had sage and salt. After it thickened I used a bit of milk. I used less sauce than this recipe but it was just right for us. I used Pie Crust III and added some salt to the dough. it was a flaky crust that was a perfect for this pie.
This was awesome! I've never made this before and it really came out fantastic!
It was delicious, comes out perfect if you follow the instructions. It reminds me of the pot pies that were made when I was growing up. Next time I may add some celery and a little poultry seasoning or not...
Very good. I used all fresh vegetables and added Thyme and Turmeric. More work than I thought it would be but worth it. Great recipe!.
This recipe is fantastic! I made two versions, one with and one without chicken for vegetarians in my family and both were great. Had requests from my husband to make it again the night I served it. The only thing I changed was making a homemade pie crust. They're so easy and taste so much better than the store bought! Also, I froze it before serving and it still came out wonderfully. Just fully defrosted and heated until warmed through, so could make a good meal to take to someone after the birth of a baby, etc.
I used left over turkey we had from the night before instead of chicken. I also chose to make my own broth and added some gravy into it, which was also from the night before.
Loved this recipe! Only change was I added 1/2 cup celery and 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning. Also used half and half cream instead of milk and fresh potatoes, carrots, peas and pastry. Very yummy will make again!!
Love this recipe—super easy and you should have most ingredients in the house. It’s a family favorite! (Tip: when making chicken breasts, I often make extra, cut them up and freeze. You’ve got an easy meal a week or two later!!)
This recipe was so easy and it came out amazing!! The whole family absolutely loved it!
Wow! This was such a great starter recipe. I used frozen mixed veggies and no potatoes but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Was a little scepticle of the 425* cooking temperature, ended up cooking it for around 45 minutes and it turned out beautiful! Hubby, our friend and I all agree that it was the best we've ever had. Our friend even said 'don't tell my mom'! I think we're going to have to arm wrestle over the leftovers. True comfort food at its finest.
Take !that! Swansons. Take !that! Banquet. I spiced it up with cayenne pepper, added some leftover cooked rice (1+ cup), and replaced canned with frozen mixed vegetables. With rice, it didn't need potatoes.
The only thing I changed was using a 1/2 bag if mixed vegetables instead of the carrots and peas in a can. I would love to have this more often but can't because of the lard in the crust. Good stuff.
My husband who says he "doesn't like chicken pot pie" loved this and ate two pieces immediately! I did make a couple changes, just based on what I had on hand. I used a can of mixed veggies instead of peas and carrots, added some sage, a bit of garlic and some parsley and used cream of chicken soup and 1 can of milk instead of broth. Definitely will make again!
I made this the other night and it came out wonderful, The chicken mixture was creamy but not runny and it was delicious!
Fantastic flavor with a little chicken broth. Great consistency. Disappeared that night! People kept sneaking in and having more.
Just added peas and a small piece of garlic. Need to make it a bit juicer. But it was a recipe I'll make again. Thanks
Also chopped up some celery and cooked that with the onions. I had some leftover potatoes and some steamed carrots. I had a half a can of condensed milk in the fridge, so used that instead of the milk, adding extra broth. Put some Penzy " Sunny Paris" for seasoning- - it is delicious!
Frozen peas, fresh carrots & no potatoes, thank you! Just a touch of thyme and it tasted great! Thanks for posting.
