HOW TO MAKE EASY CHICKEN POT PIE CASSEROLE
Enjoy a hearty comfort food for dinner – Chicken Pot Pie will be enjoyed by all!
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large round baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, peas, onions, salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are soft and the onion is fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes.
STEP 2
Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, milk and flour (if using). Mix well and cook over medium-low heat for an additional 5 minutes.
STEP 3
Pour the chicken mixture from the skillet into the prepared baking dish. Cover with the pie crust, letting the edges hang over the sides of the dish. Using a sharp knife, cut a few slits into the dough.
Place baking dish on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes. Cut pizza-style and serve warm!

USES FOR LEFTOVER CHICKEN MEAT
If you use meat from a Rotisserie chicken to make this recipe and have leftovers, there are endless possibilities for ways to use it up.
I love loading up on Rotisseries chickens (or I just make my own!) because I never lack ideas for how to eat the succulent meat. Here are just a few ideas to get you started!
- Shred the chicken and add it to your next wrap or salad.
- Add it to your next batch of chicken noodle soup!
- Use it in chicken enchiladas or this yummy chicken enchilada bake.
