Every single one of us has had pot pie before, but you’ve never had Chicken Pot Pie like this before. This recipe is great for those days that you want a nice warm cooked meal, but you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen.
Making Chicken Pot Pie is like enjoying a meat pie. Just like you would enjoy pumpkin pie or apple pie, you can also enjoy chicken pie. Sometimes there is a crust on this pie and sometimes there is not. You get to decide how it’s made. However, it’s important to remember that it’s delicious.

What Should I Serve with Pot Pie?
You may have whipped up this delicious dish and now you aren’t sure of what to serve with it. This is simple! You can serve cornbread, homemade bread, or biscuits. You can never go wrong with serving any kind of bread with this meal!
How to Store Chicken Pot Pie
Are you curious about how you can store this pot pie? EASY. Grab an airtight container and place the pot pie inside. You can store it here for around 3-5 days, but then it needs to be eaten or thrown away. This is also an easy meal to freeze and get out later. It’ll be safe in the freezer for 3-6 months. I love having this recipe available to pull out for a potluck or for bringing to a friend.
Variations of Pot Pie
Are you wondering what variations of this meal you can make? I always say there are different ways to make meals, you just have to get creative. One of my favorite variations of this meal is changing up the meat. You can easily use steak or venison. Whatever kind of meat you have on hand, I’d be willing to use it in a pot pie. You could use sausage or even ground beef.
If you don’t have milk on hand to make this meal, you can always use heavy cream. Don’t be shy about adding different vegetables that you love too. You can also use veggies that are going bad in your fridge. I’m a no waste kind of girl, anything that I can use up I try and do.
The next time you want a delicious meal, make sure you give this meal a try. Chicken Pot Pie is something you can make often too and no one will get tired of it. Make two and freeze one for later. Take one to a friend and allow them to enjoy it.
