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.
- CHICKEN BURRITO BOWLS! Chipotle style!
- Throw it into some cheesy quesadillas or even a grilled cheese sandwich!
- Once all the meat is removed from the chicken carcass, you can make a delicious, healthy bone broth. Follow the simple steps in my Ham Bone Broth tutorial with whichever meat you have on hand.

I make this recipe once a week for my family and they really like it. Its very easy to make during a weeknight after work. I never know though what to serve as a side to go with it. Can you provide some side dish ideas for it? I’m going to be making it for a family with new baby and need a side for it.
Hi! I’m so glad that you have found it an easy meal because it really is awesome with all the veggies and protein inside it! I don’t usually offer a side with it because of that but you definitely could. Maybe a bowl of rice with butter (https://pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/instant-pot-rice/) or a pasta salad would be delicious (https://pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/best-ever-pasta-salad/). Whatever you go with, enjoy!!
This recipe is easy and, more importantly, very tasty!
If you don’t finish in one meal, it’s also great for leftovers. A keeper!
Hi Barb! Don’t you just love leftovers? I do and this recipe is easy so even better. Thank you for commenting!
