Cool slightly before serving: Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Tips for the Best Pot Pie
Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. It’s flavorful, tender, and pairs perfectly with the creamy filling.
Enhance the Flavor: For added depth, sprinkle a pinch of thyme, rosemary, or paprika into the filling.
Prevent Soggy Crust: Pre-bake the bottom crust for 5–7 minutes before adding the filling to keep it flaky.
Customize the Veggies: If you’re not a fan of canned vegetables, use fresh or frozen vegetables like peas, carrots, green beans, or corn.
Double the Recipe: Make two pies and freeze one for a future meal. Pot pies freeze beautifully and reheat well.
Variations
1. Turkey Pot Pie
Swap the chicken for leftover turkey—perfect for post-Thanksgiving meals!
2. Vegetarian Pot Pie
Skip the chicken and add more vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach. Use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken.
3. Cheddar-Topped Pot Pie
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling before adding the top crust for a cheesy twist.
