What is a Pot Pie?
A pot pie is a savory pie filled with meat (usually chicken) and vegetables in a gravy-like sauce. Classic pot pies are made with a top and bottom pie crust. Pot Pies are an excellent way to re-purpose leftover cooked chicken, turkey, or even ham.
Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie:
A chicken pot pie is a meal in itself – loaded with vegetables and protein. The high quality ingredients and generous filling really differentiates this from the ones you’ll find in the freezer section. Once you try homemade, there’s no going back. This also requires simple ingredients:
- Double Pie Crust – You’ll need two pie disks for the top and bottom.
- Chicken – Use shredded cooked chicken from a rotisserie chicken or cook your own chicken breasts.
- Butter & Flour – These make the roux or base for the gravy sauce
- Onion, Carrots, Mushrooms, & Peas – this is loaded with vegetables
- Garlic and Parsley – These aromatics and simple salt and pepper balance this savory pie.
- Chicken Stock & Cream – form the creamy gravy sauce
The Best Crust for Chicken Pot Pie:
In a pinch, this recipe will work with a store-bought double pie crust, but we highly recommend using a homemade all-butter Pie Crust. It is 5 ingredients (including water and salt) and takes just minutes to make. You can also make it a couple of days ahead.
Our homemade crust rolls out easily and it never gets soggy when baked. The bottom stays crisp without needing to pre-bake. We use this same pie crust for savory and sweet pies like Apple Pie, our juicy Cherry Pie and Blueberry Pie.
How to Make Chicken Pot Pie:
A homemade Chicken Pot Pie is easier and takes less time than you think! We use a deep 9″ pie dish for this recipe.
- Sautee vegetables in 6 Tbsp of butter until soft.
- Add mushrooms and garlic and saute 5 min.
- Add cream and broth and simmer until thickened.
- Stir in chicken, peas, and parsley and remove from heat.
- Roll out pie crust to 12″ and transfer to a pie pan.
- Add Filling into crust and cover with the second crust.
- Crimp edges, cut slits, brush with egg wash and bake.
Make-Ahead Tip: Chicken pot pie reheats beautifully. Just warm it in the microwave until heated through. The sauce stays creamy without separating and it tastes just as good as the day you made it!
Common Questions:
You can use a different protein like leftover roast turkey for a turkey pot pie or even diced baked ham for ham pot pie!
To save time, you can substitute a store-bought crust, just be sure to get a double pie crust for the top and bottom and thaw according to package instructions.
You can use a 9″ diameter cast iron skillet, or even a 9″ round cake pan or springform pan.
To freeze a pot pie, cover with foil and freeze up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Bake covered with foil for an extra 25-30 minutes at 425˚F then remove foil and bake as directed in the recipe.
Use an instant-read thermometer to test for doneness. The internal temperature of your pie should reach 165˚F.
It helps to Pat down the edges so they don’t rise above the center of the pie. If your pie is browning too quickly, cover it with a pie shield. You can make one by cutting a 4″ circle from the center of a square sheet of foil. Place the pie shield loosely over the pie.
What to serve with Chicken Pot Pie:
Because pot pies are so hearty and full of protein, we love to serve this as a main course paired with Mashed Potatoes, soft Dinner Rolls and simple vegetable sides:
- Caesar Salad – so fresh, simple and made from scratch
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts – with crispy bacon
- Baked Asparagus – our go-to asparagus recipe
- Beet Salad – with the best dressing

Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
This homemade Chicken Pot Pie is homey, cozy and will warm you up. It has a homemade flaky Pie Crust and is loaded with juicy chicken in gravy and vegetables. If you've never tried a homemade savory pot pie, this will impress everyone.
Ingredients
- 1 homemade pie crust (2 disks)
- 4 cups cooked chicken shredded*
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (1 cup chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (1 cup) thinly sliced
- 8 oz white or brown mushrooms (stems discarded), sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp salt plus kosher salt to garnish
- 1/4 tsp black pepper plus more to garnish
- 1 cup frozen peas do not thaw
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped, plus more to garnish
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Instructions
-
In a dutch oven or pot, melt 6 Tbsp butter. Add diced onions and carrots and saute 8 minutes over medium heat until soft.
-
Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic and saute another 5 minutes until mushrooms are softened.
-
Add 1/3 cup flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, and 1/2 cup heavy cream then bring to a simmer and cook 1 minute or until mixture is a thick gravy consistency. Add 2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, or season to taste. It should be well-seasoned.
-
Add shredded cooked chicken, frozen peas, and 1/4 cup parsley. Stir to combine then remove from heat and cool slightly while you roll out the crusts. Roll 1 chilled pie crust disk into a 12” diameter circle. Carefully transfer it into a 9” pie dish. Spoon the pie filling over the bottom crust.
-
Roll the second disk of pie dough into a 10” diameter circle and place over the pie filling. Fold the excess dough behind the bottom crust then crimp the pie crusts together to seal. Use a sharp paring knife to cut 5 small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top of the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt and pepper.
-
Bake at 425˚F for 30-35 minutes or until top crust is golden brown. If edges are browning too fast, cover with a pie shield or make a shield by cutting a 4” diameter circle from the center of a sheet of foil and placing that over the pie. Once out of the oven, rest for 15 minutes to cool slightly before slicing.
Recipe Notes
*Use leftover shredded rotisserie chicken (light or dark meat), or cook and shred 2 large chicken breasts to get 4 cups shredded chicken.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Made for dinner Very good but added garlic powder to pie crust. Pre-baked bottom crust in iron skillet. Loved the buttery taste of the crust.
Thank you for a good recipe. My daughter asked if it was hard to make. I said, “Time consuming but worth it”. She said, “Maybe every couple months??” 🤣
Hi Karen, so good to know that you and your family enjoyed this recipe. It always feels good to read good comments and feedback, thank you for sharing that with us!
This recipe is amazing. Super easy. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
You are very welcome, Dee. Thank you so much too for your awesome review!
Natasha. I love your recipes. They are easy, family friendly and so delicious. I’ve made quit a few of your recipes. Dinner tonight is Chicken Pot Pie. Yum! It turned out perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever had one of your recipes NOT turn out. Keep them coming.
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles
I have tried sooooo many of your recipes, it should come as no surprise that this one is also a winner in my book. The filling is just amazing. I did use store bought crust since I was short on time, but it’s still delicious! My only bit of critique is that I didn’t see where it specified that I would need a deep pie pan, and I definitely did. I ended up putting it in a casserole dish since my pie dish was too shallow to accommodate all of the delicious filling.
Hi Melody, thank you for your comments and feedback. I actually linked the deep 9″ pie dish that I used for this recipe.
Hi Natasha I love your recipes and videos. I was wondering if I make this recipe with refrigerated pie crusts, will the cooking time be the same?
Hi Robyn, I have only tried it with our crust, but here is what one of our readers wrote: “Made your Chicken Pot Pie today with store-bought crust. I didn’t have mushrooms but they still tasted great. Great wintertime comfort food. Delish!!” I hope this helps.
I can’t wait to make this!
Have a turkey that needs to be cooked soon, do awesome for leftover turk.
Thinking will do little less meat and mushrooms, no peas, but add bit of celery and some par boiled cubed potatoes.
I hope you love this recipe Karen!
This was the best, most delicious pot pie I have ever eaten. I roasted a turkey and saved all the wonderful juices for my stock. I don’t like mushrooms or peas so I added some chopped celery and green beans to replace them. This was so good. I will definitely make it again. and again. and again.
Perfect! I’m happy that you loved this recipe, thank you for sharing!
This was amazing and very simple. The hardest part is deboning and shredding the chicken. And DEFINITELY take the time to make your own pie dough. I followed the accompanying recipe, and it is so simple, my first attempt at making pie dough. KEEPER!!!
Awesome! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and feedback.
Made minor adjustments to thickness of the sause (one cup of whole milk, I had no cream at home) to make it more loose. Unsure if I will add that many mushrooms next time. A two thumbs up from my husband! Wish I could attach photos. 4 1/2 stars
Thanks for your good feedback, we appreciate it!
Hi Natasha,
It is very easy and tasty .. I love it
Thanks for sharing!
Would love to have your pie crust recipe as I would really love to make this pie….sounds and looks so yummy.. Have made a lot of your recipes and love them all.
Hi Joyce, please try it! Here’s my pie crust recipe. I hope it becomes one of your favorites!
Hi I make this but instead of making the gravy I use a can of cream of .ca,ray or mushroom soup. Add milk to the desired thickness
Thank you for sharing that with me, Agnes.
What if I don’t have mushrooms? Can I use some cream of mushroom?
Hi Eva, you are welcome to omit the mushrooms. I can’t say cream of mushroom will work; it may alter the flavor.
Hi Natasha, words can’t describe how grateful I am to this recipe of yours. The pie crust came out so buttery and flaky, the bottom wasn’t soggy at all, simply perfect! Best chicken pot pie I’ve ever had, not exaggerating! Even my guest won’t stop raving about it, apparently it’s the best he’s ever had as well!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Amelia!

Wonderful recipe.. pie looked and tasted delicious 😋.. will definitely make again and again.. thank you so much xx
You’re welcome, Ceri! It sure sounds like you found a new favorite recipe! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
This is “seriously the best” chicken pot pie recipe ever. I have made it twice, adding in a cup of diced cooked potatoes, and making a little more broth, because I enjoy more broth. It took me a minute to get past how crumbly the piecrust starts out, but it is the crowning glory of the pie itself!
So happy to hear that, Sharon. I’m glad you loved this recipe!
I add potatoes as well. So yummy
This is by far the best chicken pot pie recipe. I have removed all other pot pie recipes from my Pinterest board & this is my go to recipe.
The sauce is rich & creamy. And tasty
Hello Natasha,
This pie looks amazing!!
I wanted to give it a whirl, but, I wanted to ask if I could prepare it in the morning, refrigerate, and bake it off when I get home from work? I wasn’t sure, if by doing so, the pie crust would become soggy?
Hi Diana, you may make and bake this ahead. Chicken pot pie reheats beautifully. Just warm it in the microwave until heated through. The sauce stays creamy without separating and it tastes just as good as the day you made it!
Your recipes are so wonderful!!!!! Love watching your videos!
Thank you so much for your compliment and for always watching my videos!
I made my FIRST ever Chicken Pot Pie using your recipe and I not only love it. My gracious husband like it and some friends asked me how much for an order. Well not bad huh!
Thank you Natasha for sharing your recipes. Cheers to more awesome food in the table!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Love your videos! You mention you post notes for example about your Dutchmen oven when making the chicken pot pie. Where are there notes located?kim
Hi Kim, we try to put the links in the post above but here is a link to our Amazon Affiliate Shop (you can also find this by clicking “shop” at the top menu of our site.
Can I make the crust in a stand mixer? I don’t have a food processor..
Hi Inna, here’s what one of our readers wrote: “I tried today with a stand mixer and work beautifully. I just added 7 tbsp of cold water and follow the same mesuarements for flour and other ingredients. I used the artisan kitchen aid and work with Stir at the beginnig and then level 1 when i added the water.” I hope that helps.
Wonderful recipe! My husband was in the mood for a Shepherd’s Pie version, so we didn’t make the crust this time. Placed the filling in a 3 qt. greased casserole and topped with mashed potatoes (used 5 russets) and baked as instructed, finishing a few minutes under the broiler. The texture of the filling was perfect, and so delicious. Looking forward to trying the crust another time. Thank you very much.
Hi Cathy, thanks for sharing that with us. I’m happy to hear that it came out perfect! I hope you and your family will love every recipe that you will try.
The pie crust and bottom is amazing. I rolled it out very thin and it puffed up golden brown. The filling steps are perfect I added a few extra Veges and some curry seasoning. Perfect recipe!
So great to hear that, Diane. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed this pot pie recipe!
I made this as is and it was perfect! I had not made homemade crust in YEARS. I’m sure my grandma was looking down from heaven with a smile on her face because I finally took the time to do something that she taught me. Thanks for the new recipe to add to my arsenal.
I’m sure she is very proud! I’m happy that you loved this recipe, Wendy. Thank you.
I made this tonight & OMG my family LOVED it! The crust was amazing! So easy I will forever use this! Yummy 🤤
Awesome! I’m really happy to hear that, Julie. Thanks for your fantastic review of this recipe!
I am not sure if you’ll see this in time or not but I made this pie last month but froze half of the filling as I didn’t want to make two pies at the time. I was curious if I should do different baking instructions or if I should pre-warm up the filling before baking with a freshly made crust?
Hi Amanda, the time shouldn’t change by much, but it may take slightly longer to reach the desired temp.
First time I made chicken pot pie and it turned out perfect. My husband loved it. As I was out of heavy cream, I used 1/2 cup milk and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. The rest I followed exactly. Thank you Natasha.
I’m happy to hear that you and your husband loved this pot pie! Thank you for your great comments and feedback, Jocel.
I want to post a picture of my beautiful pie, but I can’t! I did post a picture on our family messenger, and now I’ve had some requests to stop by for dinner! It’s still cooling, but I taste-tested the filling – great! I started watching your videos for your smile, but I stay around for your delicious and easy recipes. Thanks, Natasha!
You’re welcome, Jim! I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe! You can share your photo on your social media site and tag #natashaskitchen.
Can I substitute for either Store Bought Puff Pastry or Phyllo?
Hi Monique, I have only tried it with our crust, but here is what one of our readers wrote: “Made your Chicken Pot Pie today with store-bought crust. I didn’t have mushrooms but still tasted great. Great wintertime comfort food. Delish!!” I hope this helps.
Loved your recipe!! I’ve made lots of chickrn pot pies in my life time & this was by far the best!
Thank you, Karin! I love getting comments like this! So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Made your Chicken Pot Pie today and it was DELICIOUS. Two thumbs up 👍👍
I love watching your videos. Helps a great deal.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
DELICIOUS. Better than delicious actually. I’m GF and pot pie was not something I would chose to eat, but I decided to try this as something for my family. Made the pie and crust GF and followed the rest of the recipe to a T. My family scraped the last bits of crumbs and asked if I could make a few more!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the recipe Natasha!
It was very delicious 😋
You are most welcome! I’m glad you liked it.
This is an excellent pot pie recipe. The pie filling is so creamy and full of flavor. I love how you get chicken in every bite too. I wasn’t sure about the mushrooms at first but I have to say I think they are what give the recipe a lot of flavor.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Absolutely delicious chicken pot pie, made this for Sunday lunch. My boys (young men 😉 in fact)enjoyed it.
Please advise how to store the leftover for next day.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review
My husband requested a pot pie and it’s been years since I made one because they’ve never been a favorite. This pot pie is to die for!! The ratios and instructions worked out perfectly and I would highly recommend it.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Wow! Made this Tonight! Amazing! I didn’t add the mushrooms! Wasn’t Feeling it! Lol! Way Better than Frozen! Definitely making Again! Thanks so much Natasha! Love all your recipes! And your Passion, Energy and Love! ❤️
Awesome! Thank you for your good comments and feedback, Chris. I appreciate that!
I made chicken pot but used my wife’s crust recipe. Liquid crust which pours over the hot filling & finished off in halogen oven. Will be tomorrow’s lunch.
That sounds delicious, John! Thank you for sharing that with us!
Everyone loved it! I was worried about the pie crust, as that was harder without the larger food processor. It might not as looked as pretty as yours, but still tasted delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Natasha, just made this today and got a great review from hubby. I knew I could count on you, as always, for staple recipes!
Awesome! So great to hear that, Evelina. Thank you to you both for trying out this recipe!
Would love the recipe for the crusts. sounds wonderful thank you
Hello Debbie, sure! Here’s my Pie Crust recipe
Easy and delish!! Promise next time will be with homemade pie dough, because it will be a next time soon 😋
Thank you, Joselyn. Yes. that would be perfect! I hope it will become your new favorite.
We made this over the weekend and OMG! Deliciousness overload! Thanks to your homemade pie crust recipe, I never need to buy a pie crust from the store again. I did add a couple diced, cooked potatoes to the creamy filling. Will make again and again!!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Tay!
We love this pie! I Didn’t have mushrooms so I diced and parboiled an 8oz potato and tossed it in before baking.
This truly is the best pot pie I have ever had. Thanks!
That’s a nice substitute, thanks for sharing. I’m glad you loved this pie!
I am loving your recipes!! And your videos are fun to watch, with great tips. I made your chicken pot pie tonight and it was a big hit! Thank you!
Thank you for your support and I’m happy to hear that, Toby!
This is so delicious. We subbed celery for peas because my husband doesn’t like them. It was buttery, creamy, flavorful, with just the right amount of salt. Everybody loved it!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Lis!
Made your Chicken Pot Pie today with store bought crust. Didn’t have mushrooms but still tasted great. Great wintertime comfort food. Delish!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Really good, I love all your recipes, I have links to them all. I use the App OrganizEat and so I have loaded all your recipes (it’s an automatic input when you copy your recipe) – your recipes and OrganizEat have made this time bearable- thank you so much.
Hi Nancy, I’m so glad that my recipes are helping you during these times. Thank you for sharing that with me.
Hi Natasha,
We love your recipes and enjoy watching your videos – which makes us hungry all the time. My daughter who is 8, wanted me to comment here about your yummy recipes.
Tried whole chicken in instant pot along with biscuits and gravy. My daughter helped cut those biscuits. We also made potpie -which was delish! All of them turned out amazing. I was so proud that I was also able to do these from scratch.
The vanila cupcakes are next.
Looking forward to making many more of your recipes.
Thankyou!
Hello Shree, I’m glad you and your family have been enjoying my recipes. Thank you for sharing that with us and I hope you will love all the recipes that you will try from me!
Took me a bit longer to prep & get together. I don’t have a deep dish pie pan so I used my 8” square pan. Stretched my pie crust to cover bottom & sides. Once filled was able to get my top crust on fairly easily. I will it can out great. I love the taste. Haven’t baked a “Homemade” pot pie in a LONG time. Very pleased with the flavor. Will stay in my favorite group of recipes.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I just LOVE ALL your recipes. I’ve made your chix pot pie twice and my hubby LOVES it(so do I). Your baked ziti and lasagna was also a HUGE hit. Thank you for sharing
I’m so happy you’re enjoying our recipes. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Just made this last night for my husband and I. It was delicious! I’ve never made chicken pot pie before but it was super simple and turned out so good. I used store bought pie crusts due to time, but it was still amazing. I’m sure your crust would make it even better! I’ve made about 5-6 different dishes now of yours and they have all been delicious! I am not a great cook but your recipes are so easy to follow (your videos are awesome!!) and don’t require a dozen different odd condiments or ingredients. I love your recipes because they make me believe I can actually cook! Thank you- Thank you Natasha!! 🙂
Hi Suzanne, that makes me so glad. Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
I made this for dinner tonite and it was delicious! Thank you for a wonderful recipe! 🙂
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Suzanne!
Delicious-Definitely tastes homemade! 💗
Natasha,
I made this dish for my daughter’s birthday and I can only say thank you for such a simple and wonderful recipe! Absolutely recommended!
Best greetings from Germany!
Thank you for that wonderful review, Ana! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I also used a deli chicken and agree to cut the salt in half. I also used Better than bullion and that too is salty. So VERY flavorful. LOVED it. I used 1/2&1/2, because I had it on hand, with a little extra flour. This think this would be an amazing company dish, too, baked in a smaller ie. onion soup crocks and topped with a round of biscuit or flaky pastry dough.
Thank you for sharing that with us, Juliane!
This pie is delicious! The crust rolls out perfectly.My family loved it..they love all of your recipes!
I will definitely be making it again!
Thanks so much for sharing your recipes!
Elaine,Newfoundland,Canada
You’re welcome, Elaine! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes.
I made this last night and we loved it. Easy and looked beautiful when taken out of oven. There are only two of us so we will have it another night. All in one great meal.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
What adjustments should I make if I only have 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream? More flour?
Hi Juliane, I always use heavy cream but a light cream or half and half might work if you add a little more flour and butter to help it thicken up properly.
O-M-Gosh!!! My first pie ever. So glad I made the crust from scratch. I’m super proud of myself and it was better than ANYTHING you could buy. Much easier than I thought it would be. Marie Calendar can kiss my ***.😁 I wish I could add a picture. So rustic and gorgeous!
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for sharing your great review.
Absolutely delicious.. homemade crust was a little time consuming but it was soooo worth it.
I’m happy that you loved and enjoyed this recipe, Shelly!
We made this last night and it was fantastic!! The only change I made was to cut the salt in half. I used a rotisserie chicken and felt that would already be adding some salt. We will definitely be making it again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Winner, Winner Chicken Pie Dinner! This is absolutely the best, my family loves it. I always have to make two so that everyone can have seconds. Thank you so much for all your recipes, everyone I have tried (I have tried a lot) are all so good and easy to follow. 🥰
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Josie. I’m glad you and your family enjoyed this recipe!
Hi Natasha, I made the pie today with left over turkey and use the juices from the turkey and made a stock, more delicious. Leaving in Ohio I used 7 Tbsp of water for the pie and replace heavy cream for 2% milk. The only thing that I couldnt replace was the onion, my husband has intolerance to Onions so I added more garlic. The consistency was a little runny but delicious. What other vegetable would you use instead onion?? Thanks for any answer.
Hi Isa. I haven’t tried any other substitute for onion, you may omit it from the recipe or use powdered onion instead?
Is your husband able to tolerate leeks? Are celery would work too.
Should I double the dough recipe for the pie crust? I thought that they crust recipe said it makes two pie crusts. Also, I do not have a food processor; have you tried it with a stand mixer? I am hoping it works!
Hi Jennifer, our pie crust recipe creates a double pie crust and there is no need to double it again. I hope you love the Chicken Pot Pie!
Hi Jennifer, I tried today with a standar mixer and work beautifully. I just added 7 tbsp of cold water and follow the same mesuarements for flour and other ingredients. I used the artisan kitchen aid and work with Stir at the beginnig and then level 1 when i added the water.
Hi Natasha,
I made this pot pie for the first time last night. I used store bought pie crust but it was still a hit!!! Next time i’ll make your homemade pie crust. <3
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Hi Natasha! I made this for New Year’s Eve dinner and my family could not get enough!!! Such a rich flavor:-) and absolutely the BEST all-butter pie crust ever!!! I’m looking forward to making your salmon patties tonight! Thank you very much for sharing your recipes! Many blessings to you and your family this new year!!!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review! Happy New Year!
Made this last night for family dinner(11). Economical and easy. 2 pies, all enjoyed, not much was there for leftovers. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Rich! I’m glad the family enjoyed this!
After 30 years of my husband cooking ~ and he IS an excellent self-taught chef ~ I finally get to cook for him. (Ain’t retirement grand?!) This will be my first attempt to tap into my inner domestic goddess. I used to good ~ back in the dark ages. Time to wake up those culinary skills.
I know you say it’s easy, but I can burn water. I’m looking forward to trying this and many other of your recipes. You will be my Julia Child! Thanks so much.
I hope you love this recipe, Joanie!!
Hi Natasha! I love your blog! I made the chicken pot pie and your crust for the first time, and we loved it!! I have tried many of your recipes and they have been a hit! Keep them coming!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe.
What is a good Dutch oven to purchase? You were going to say what you have.
Hi JoAnn, you can find our favorite kitchen tools in our Blog Shop HERE and in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE. We also have a dutch oven listed in step one HERE: “In a dutch oven or pot, melt 6 Tbsp butter. Add diced onions and carrots and saute 8 minutes over medium heat until soft.” I hope this helps!
Hi Natasha, am I mistaken? I thought I watched this video where you used mayonnaise. You said not to omit it because it helped bind the ingredients.
Hi Mary Jane, I don’t have mayonnaise in this recipe – I wonder if you had watched a different one?
Hi Natasha. I absolutely love all of your recipes and videos. Your blog is one of the main reason I got interested in cooking. They simple and easy to follow for a beginner like me. Most importantly, they’re always delicious.
I made this recipe using your homemade crust with your mashed potatoes recipe on Christmas Day and it was really delicious! The crust was flaky and buttery and it goes really well with the creamy chicken pie. My whole family enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing this great recipe!
I’m so inspired by reading your review, Cheryl. Thank you for sharing that with me! Happy New Year!
Hi
Will it work with white raw/cookedfish?
Thanks
Hi Nitsa, I haven’t tried this recipe with fish to advise.
Hi Natasha, love your videos! Our family isn’t big on mushrooms. What other veggies can I substitute in place of them?
Thanks!
PS, your baklava was a hit at Christmas!
Thank you, Cheri. I haven’t tried other substitute but I saw others share that they used potatoes and liked it too.
Hi Natasha, the chicken pot pie was a big hit in my home. So delicious. Your instructions are the best! Thank you. It was my first time making homemade crust. DELICIOUS. Have to admit was a bit nervous, but success. Have made several of your recipes and right on point- your measurements, advice and videos gives me confidence. Love you!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, JoMarie. I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying our recipes!
I agree Jo Marie! I love your videos Natasha. I have learned a lot and I so appreciate you. Happy cooking!
Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Dorene! I’m so glad our videos are helpful.
If there were more than 5 stars to give this chicken pot pie a higher rating, I would!
Simply the BEST!
And the pie crust is to die for!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
What rack do you place the pie? I have problems with bottom crust getting done
Hi Ruthann, we like to keep it in the middle of the oven.
Where is the link for the food scrapper? The place you posted it making us sign up and register.
Hi Gretchen, you can see the kitchen tools that I use here in my Amazon Affiliate Shop.
If I leave the mushrooms out will it make that much difference? Not a fan of mushrooms.
HI Debbie, you might replace it with more of the other veggies.
Loved the filling I made this into individual pot pies and froze them my crust stuck to the bottom of the tin pans and was soggy please any advise
Hi Laila, cooking one from fresh would always give you the best results. Also, make sure to bake from frozen without thawing which will help.
Where’s the link to the food scraper?

Was THEE BEST recipe ever abs my whole family absolutely loved it! The rotisserie chicken was awesome to use. Great flavor. Thank you!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
I made this a couple weeks ago using vegetarian “chicken”, and it was delicious!
I’d like to make it again, but hoping to make all the components ahead of time and assembling and baking either later in the day or the following day… any advice??
Hi Tara, I’m glad you liked it. Yes, you may make this ahead. Chicken pot pie reheats beautifully. Just warm it in the microwave until heated through. The sauce stays creamy without separating and it tastes just as good as the day you made it!
My family loved this recipe. I made it with leftover turkey I had in the freezer from Thanksgiving. Thank you for a great tasting recipe. It’s a keeper!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
I made this tonight exactly as your recipe. Oh my goodness…All your recipes are amazing but, this might be a family favorite. It is so good!!!
So nice to know that this is going to be one of your favorites. Thanks for your great feedback!
Thanks for the recipe !! Super delicious . Pie crust was so flaky .
My first pie from scratch and it turned us worth all the effort 👍👍👍 merry Christmas and happy 2021 . Stay safe 🙏
Winnie from Hong Kong 😊
Hello Winnie, that is so nice to know. Thank you for sharing your comments with us, glad you loved this recipe!
I started with a home roasted chicken that was last night’s dinner for my daughter and me. Took all the meat off this morning and made my own stick with the carcass. Hubby home tonight and asked for chicken pot pie! LOL, if you making chicken pot pie you’re probably not counting calories, but I just couldn’t see having a double crust. I split your pie crust recipe and cut the filling in half as well. I added a little dry thyme and maybe a 1/2 tsp of dijon mustard to the filling. Otherwise I followed your instructions and only topped the casserole dish with the crust. Yum! Your instructions and videos are easy to follow and the results are amazing. Thank you, Natasha!
You’re so welcome, Antoinette. Thank you for your good comments, I’m glad that you enjoyed this recipe!

What’s your most popular week/work night recipes easy and quick?
Hi Katherine, there are so many. I suggest researching our 30-minute meal category. Also our instant pot recipes are a good bet, and also things like Fried Rice (we have chicken and shrimp).
Made this chicken pot pie and it did not disappoint. I used store bought crust and it came out great. Thanks for a great recipe!
You’re most welcome! I hope you can try our homemade pie crust too next time. It is also so good!
Love the chicken pot pie!! After removing from freezer for 30 min prior to baking do I brush egg on top of crust?
Hi Becky, yes, you can add the egg wash before baking.
Hi, I want to make this but in my country heavy cream is not available. Could i use cooking cream instead? or make my own heavy cream?
Hi Ann, I imagine that should work too. If you experiment on that, please share with us how it goes.
Hi! How many grams (or ounces!) of chicken breasts would you suggest?
Hi Albert! We have that listed in the printable recipe card. We recommend using a conversation chart or using our metric option on the printable recipe card.
It came out beautiful and delicious. Will definitely make it again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Lilly!
The BEST Turkey Pot Pie n homemade crust!
OMG!
You ROCK Natasha!
That is so sweet of you. Thank you, Rose!
The pie was a big hit in my house and I have very picky eater. So good. I used 2 chicken breast that cooked in the crock pot. Everyone of your recipes are so delicious and so easy. THANK YOU!
That makes me happy, Theres. Thank you so much for your amazing feedback!
So easy and sooo delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Definitely a keeper.
You’re most welcome, Josie. Thank you for the great feedback!
My whole family loves this recipe!! Recipe is exact and easy too follow although I did cook a frozen one according to directions and I didn’t like it as well it turned out watery instead of creamy and took much longer to reach 165 internal than direction said I highly recommend making it fresh!! Love you Natasha ❤️
I made this and the flavour is incredible, the crust perfect but the filing was a bit runt, help!
Hi Kerry, I would recommend letting it rest and cool to help the creamy center thicken up some more. Also, make sure to use the same measurements and stove-top cooking times in the recipe to ensure that creamy filling is nice and thick before putting it into the pie.
So, so good, love the flaky pie crust and the strong flavor of the filling.
By the way, I got one pound boneless chicken, cut it in small chuncks and browned it thoroughly first before continuing with the recipe as stated. Yum!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me Jenny, great idea! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
so excited to try this!!! my crust is in the refrigerator right now (1st time making a crust). can I cook this in a cast iron skillet? I don’t have a deep 9″ pie pan.
thanks!!!
Hi Tricia, That may work, I would not preheat the cast iron pan or you won’t be able to get the bottom crust into it. I would brush or spray with oil and proceed as usual.
This was my first time making pot pie and it was amazing!! I doubled the recipe and made it in a large dish. Can’t wait to make this again! Thank you for this recipe.
Sounds awesome, Melissa. Thank you for your excellent comments and feedback!
Natasha what is the name of that kitchen tool you use? I can’t find it in the notes as you described. Please I just have to have one. Btw your recipes got me to love cooking. Thank you
Hello Brenda, you can see the kitchen tools that I use here in my Amazon affiliate shop.
I tried your recipe after watching your video and it was DIVINE!!! I am now subscribed to you so I can become a better cook!!! Thanks Natasha!!! I’m so excited!!
Yay, that is so awesome! Thank you for subscribing and I hope that you will love every recipe that you will try from me.
We currently have this pie baking in the oven. The filling tasted so good when I tried it out.
My 11 year old son is hooked on your videos and we’ve made many of your recipes together so far. They have all been amazing. It’s such a better obsession than his previous obsession with video games. Thank you!
Hi Taralyn, sounds wonderful! Hello to your son and thanks to you both for watching my videos.
Hi Natasha, made your pie crust yesterday and the chicken pot pie today, and it came out amazing. Both my wife and her sister said it was absolutely delicious. The crust was flaky on top and the bottom, and the filling was incredible. Love your bubbly personality, your videos are a pleasure to watch. Thanks so much!
Hello Woody, that makes me so happy! Thank you so much for sharing your good comments and feedback on this recipe. Appreciate it!
I will never use store bought pie crust again! This was a huge hit with my family, thank you for the wonderful recipe Natasha!
That is so awesome! Thank you so much for your excellent feedback, Karina. Love it!
Can we freeze it after baking and when needed microwave it or warm up in toaster oven.
Hi Bina, please see the common questions section titled: “Can I freeze chicken pot pie?”
This was AMAZING!! The pie crust is to die for and so easy to make!! I literally could not believe I made something so yummy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Allison!
Hi Natasha!
I made this recipe (minus the mushrooms) with your flaky pie crust tonight, and it was just to die for! Amazing!
Thank you for all that you do – I’ve never made a bad recipe of yours! You are by far my favorite chef!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
I was searching through the comments to see if someone mentioned the mushrooms as I’m not a fan. Looks like will work without it! Thank you
This pot pie is to die for! Not too difficult to make either. I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and added just a hint of thyme and it was PERFECT!! I can’t wait to try it again with leftover chicken!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
Hi Natasha, could you make this chicken pot pie as individual ones and how long would you bake them for.
Thanks in advance
Hi Sylvia, I haven’t tested that, but I imagine that should work! If you happen to experiment, I would love to know ow you like that!
This looks delicious and I’m buying the ingredients today. Any idea if I could make ~1.5x the amount of filling and bake it in a 13×9 pan with crust just on the top? Ever tried that? I suppose it’s more like a shepherd’s pie or casserole. I’m feeding a large family and 1 pie won’t cut it. Thanks!
Hi Kate, I haven’t tested that to advise, but it sounds like it may work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
It works fine! You do not need to reduce the filing ,the first time i made this with a 13×9 casserole the bottom crust was raw. the second time i did not put any bottom crust just the filling and top crust it was 👌👌
Thanks for sharing that with us, Ava. I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe!
This recipe is fabulous & so good. It’s time consuming but so worth it. I made the dough first since it needed to refrigerate one hour. Then moved on to the mixture. Perfect flavors & truly a thick luscious mixture. The crust was so delicious and flaky. Be sure to add the salt & pepper to the top of the crust. I’m not a baker but this may have changed my mind. Hubby had 3 servings… it was that good!
I’m so glad you both enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Made this with left over Thanksgiving turkey. Oh so good!
Cooked on the Traeger @375° For 1 hour. IT@160° let rest 20 minutes.
Yum! That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review with me, Loyd!
I made it today and it was so delicious.
Thank you for another great recipe Natasha.
I’m so glad you enjoyed that, Liz! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review!
I made the chicken pot pie and it was awesome. My husband wants me to try to make this next time with roast beef and beef stock. I love your recipes!!!
Aww, that’s so great, Marian! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes!
I made this for my family and they absolutely LOVED IT!! I was scared to make the pie crust but followed your recipe and it was a success!! This potpie is full of flavor I will definitely be making it again
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Absolutely the BEST pot pie I have ever eaten!!!……dinner party worthy. I used leftover turkey this time, replaced one carrot with one parsnip, and also added one tablespoon of poultry seasoning. Oh Good Lord…….my mouth is watering even thinking of it. Oh, and after 40 years, I’ve changed my go to pastry recipe to the one used in this dish. Unbelievably easy, very quick, and buttery, and substantial while remaining crisp and airy. A real winner.
This chicken pot pie is definitely on our meal rotation from now on.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I have died and gone to heaven!!! This looks soooooo good! Mine always just didn’t taste right. Now I know why. Store bought crust and didn’t make a rue!! Now that I have a new friend in my kitchen (Kitchen Aide) going to try again.
This crust is seriously the best! I really hope you enjoy this recipe!
Hi Natasha,
I just made your chicken pot pie recipe and it was delicious! The only problem was with rolling out the crust. I pre-made the dough and placed the two discs in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. I removed them from the refrigerator to warm them up a bit. It was a full hour+ before I could work on them. Very difficult to roll, had to mist it with water to get it to move. Then I thought about the way I measured the flour. I scooped the flour from the bag with the measuring cup and leveled. I’m not sure that that was an issue. It took that amount of finished dough to make the pie.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated🌷
Hi Laurel, that is possibly the culprit! We do recommend reading our post on measuring HERE.
The best pot pie I have ever made! It is delicious. Thank you for your amazing recipes they really are great.
You are most welcome, Tiffany. Thank you for your great comments and feedback, it’s very inspiring for me too!
Chicken pot pie the way it’s supposed to be. Full of chunks of chicken and a firm not runny
Sauce. The crust was flaky and buttery just as described. I felt the salt was a bit too much, and I like salt. Other than that it gets 👍👍. Loved the video !
I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe and video, Cathy! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us!
I made this for dinner tonight-absolutely delicious!!! This recipe is definitely a keeper!! There were no leftovers!!!

HI Natasha
I have my pies baking right now and they smell amazing. I made 3 small ones, and still have filling left over… have you tried freezing the filling or the pies themselves to use at another time?
Hi Danica, please see the common questions section titled: “Can I freeze chicken pot pie?”
Thanks Natasha!
Recipe was awesome. Flavors were spot on. The best chicken pot pie I ever had.
Yay perfect! Thanks for your good comments and feedback, we appreciate it!
Hello! Made this for dinner tonight I honestly cannot believe I made a homemade crust I do not bake.
It was absolutely delicious my entire family loved it. I will be making this again and again.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing that with us, Lisa. I’m glad you and your family loved this recipe!
I had been craving chicken pot pie and decided to try your recipe. Of course I used your pie crust recipe too. I am so delighted and in awe, it turned out perfect. You get an A+ star! The recipe was perfect and easy to follow. The pie is so delicious, rich in taste, but light. I had to have seconds. I’m purring.
Wow, thank you for your perfect rating! That makes me so happy, we appreciate it and I hope you love every recipe that you will try.
