Easy Chicken Pot Pie

February 28, 2012 · 9 comments

This is one of my go-to meals for using up the shredded chicken I keep in the freezer. If you need an easy, affordable and satisfying meal, this one fits the bill. My kids love that they each get their own ramekin cup so they don’t have to share :)

Wow ! This is great! I LOVE chicken pot pie but buying them frozen isn’t economical. I’ve tried several different recipes and this is the BEST! Thanks so much! I have diabetes so i cut the flour in half and didn’t use the biscuits so it’s more like a soup. Also we didn’t have onions OR peas…but it was still GREAT! Thanks so much for the inspirations on your website regarding shredded chicken recipes. Taste just like Marie Calendar’s !!!

I also only used several chicken buillon cubes. Taste just as good to me since we don’t have the broth.

I made the Easy Chicken Pot Pie to the letter and followed the directions to the letter. It turned out SOUPY …..? Why ? The flavor is wonderful. It is very easy that was true. But,……it never thicken up much. I will have to take it apart (bisquits off the top) and recook it on the storve with more flour and see if I can thicken it up . Next time I will not use 4 c. of cream .

Hi Linda – Thanks for your feedback. I added a clarification on the recipe to cook liquid until thickened before adding chicken and veggies.

I made this recipe almost exactly at first. Just had to use a little milk in place of some of the cream since I didn’t have 4 cups. Tasted it before the biscuits and was really bland so I added salt, lots of pepper, onion powder, more garlic, and about 2 tbsp more butter. When it came out of the oven, the flavor was WONDERFUL, just really soupy. I think next time I’ll just add a bunch more vegetables. Def making again!
