Chicken Pot Pie is a classic homemade chicken pot pie recipe with vegetables and a creamy filling without cream of anything soup. A store bought flaky pie crust makes this come together fast for a weeknight meal. I’ve had many versions of this classic comfort food but this one is the best easy chicken pot pie recipe and is a tried and true favorite.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE

June is the rainy season in Florida. It rains everyday for at least a half hour. I remember the first time I made this pie we had just gone with our realtor to look at houses and we were absolutely poured on. We ended up finding our very first home that day. Then we came home and ate this easy recipe in our tiny apartment.

This is the ultimate comfort food. I love to make comfort food when it’s gloomy and rainy outside. My kids love this meal. I love this meal. I could eat the whole pie by myself. It is a little work to make from scratch but you can taste the love in it. It’s a great recipe to take in to someone.

INGREDIENTS

  • Pie Crusts – you could use puff pastry here as a substitute or a homemade pie crust would be great. Store-bought pie crust can be used too.
  • Chicken – rotisserie chicken can be used here or any leftover cooked chicken. You could even use leftover turkey.
  • Carrots and Peas – you could add potatoes, green beans, or mushrooms. I use frozen peas and carrots.
  • Celery
  • Butter – I like to use unsalted butter so I can control the sodium.
  • Onions
  • Chicken Broth or Chicken Stock
  • Milk
  • Flour –A little flour helps thicken up the vegetable filling.
  • Celery Seed– the secret ingredient here. It gives a flavor that nothing else can.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN POT PIE

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)

  2. Place one of the crusts in the bottom of a deep dish pie pan and prick with a fork. I like to slightly bake the bottom pie crust before filling the pie so it isn’t soggy. Just bake for 5-6 minutes at 425 degrees.

  3. In a large pot, combine the raw chicken, carrots, peas, celery. Add the carton of chicken broth to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain into a bowl (reserving 1 3/4 cups chicken broth for filling) and set aside chicken mixture.

  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the onions and cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and combine with the chicken, carrots, peas, and celery mixture in a large pot or bowl (I use the pot that I boiled the chicken in). Here you can add more chicken broth if you like depending how runny you want your filling.

  5. Place the chicken pot pie filling on top of the bottom crust. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

All ready to bake! Make sure you cut slits in the top of the pie crust to let the steam escape.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD CHICKEN POT PIE?

A good chicken pot pie has the perfect filling to vegetable ratio. You don’t want it too runny or too thick.

I think the celery seed is the secret ingredient here because it gives it that flavor that nothing else can replace.

For another version, try this beef pot pie!

CAN YOU FREEZE CHICKEN POT PIE?

Yes. This is a chicken recipe that freezes well. For reheating, either bake covered with foil from frozen or thaw and then bake. Store in the freezer up to three months.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN POT PIE?

I like to serve this with a green salad and some garlic bread or cheddar biscuits. Scalloped Potatoes would be great.

    This has become a staple at our house. I cover the top with mashed potatoes instead of a second crust. I also make it a day in advance and keep it in the refrigerator after baking it to give the flavors more time to blend together. We love it!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Sounds delicious!

  2. Brandi Dirksen Reply

    I would like to make this, but I’m wanting to add potatoes. Would I mess the whole recipe up if I did that?

    • Elizabeth Reply

      I added a can of mixed veggies that had potatoes in it, was really good!

      • Brandi Dirksen Reply

        Thank you!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Of course not! It would be great!

  3. Linda Reply

    Can this be made without crust then just put refrigerator rolls on top and bake

  4. Nikki Reply

    I only had peas in a can and fresh carrots. I boiled the carrots first for 10 mins, then added celery for about 10 minutes longer. Had to substitute almond milk (shelter in place) and also used celery salt because I had no seed. Turned out beautiful! I used a little less broth in the butter/flour roux. Oh, and added the peas and chopped rotisserie chicken just before putting the mixture in the pie shell.
    Thank you for sharing! With all those mods it still came out great🤗

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Great to hear. Stay safe!!!

    The BEST.
    This is a tried and true recipe.
    Love it. Great with holiday leftover turkey, and I love the shortcuts like a rotisserie chicken, frozen vegetables, preprepped pie crust, etc. Thanks!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      I’m so glad you approve! I love it too!

  6. Channin Ford Reply

    I raise my own chickens and it is difficult to use raw chicken because I have them dressed as quartered, bone-in birds. Do you think it would be ok to use a pound of chicken that I have already cooked in a Crockpot? Thank you!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Yes, absolutely!

  7. Kristen Reply

    I want to make a couple of these to keep in the freezer for postpartum meals. How should I adjust the cooking temp & time when reheating?

    • Christy Denney Reply

      I would just reheat at 350 for about 20 minutes and make sure it’s covered so it doesn’t brown any more.

  8. Mark Reply

    This was excellent, only thing I changed was I used chicken fat and ghee, celery salt instead of seed and salt cause I didn’t have seed.
    Everyone loved it.
    Thanks

    • Christy Denney Reply

      So glad you liked it!

  9. Fae Reply

    Excellent recipe but as others said a little bland. I did add more salt and pepper but additional spices will only make it better.

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Thanks for your input.

  10. Victoria Reply

    Do you think I could make the filling earlier in the day and then bake? Would I need to adjust the baking time?

    I was looking for a simpler recipe for Chicken Pot Pie, because it’s one of our 1 1/2 year old Granddaughter’s favorite thing to eat. I am very pleased with the results. The gravy was nice and thick. My other recipe used fresh vegetables, which was a pain to dice. Using the frozen peas and carrots was great. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will pin it and use it often.

    • Happy Ford Reply

      I did substitute half and half for the milk… I didn’t have any milk. And I beat an egg white and did a wash over the top. I didn’t take the time to bake the bottom crust, and it was a bit soggy, but not too bad.

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Thank you!

  16. Deb Reply

    This is a very good Chicken Pot Pie!! I do not want to buy anymore store bought after fixing this !! Thank you for the great recipe!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      You’re welcome! A bit of work but worth it.

  17. Carolyn Reply

    I made this for my fiance at the time because he asked for “homemade” chicken pot pie. He absolutely loves this meal. I made it for my family later who also rave about it. I made it for my mother-in-law when she came to visit last week and she thought it was incredible and I had to share the recipe! This is so good! This is one of my ultimate comfort food favorites!

    My only problem I have with it is that my bottom pie crust always shrinks when I pre-bake it. Do you have a solution for that?

    • Happy Ford Reply

      If baking the pie in a pie pan, you can cook the bottom crust on the upside down pie pan. Just make sure none is touching the rack, because it would burn. I want to say you bake it for about ten minutes. Take the upside down pan out of the oven, let cool for five minutes, then carefully turn the pan right side up and hold the pie crust with your other hand. Slip the pie crust inside the pie pan and fill as directed

  18. Christina Reply

    If I made this earlier in the day what would be the recommended temperature and time to reheat for dinner?

    • Christy Denney Reply

      I would reheat at 350 for 10-15 minutes.

  19. Karen Reply

    I have made this for my mother and daughter. They love this chicken pot pie

    • Christy Denney Reply

      It’s one of my faves.

  20. Jodee Reply

    Hi I’m in the process of assembling this dish right now and I wonder if I should grease the pie pan with butter or Pam or nothing?? Please help!!??

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Pie crusts have enough butter that you shouldn’t have to grease but you can if you want to be sure.

  21. Megan Oakley Reply

    This is my go-to recipe now for chicken pot pie. I’ve made it 4 times, and my family loves it. 2 things I usually add- 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped Italian parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder. I have made this recipe with leftover turkey, too. Delicious!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Ooh parsley would be great!

  22. Tillie Reply

    Really good southern dish!
    Here are a few edits:
    Make stock: 2 carrots, 1 onion quartered, 2 celery stocks, pinch (or 2) of celery salt, small whole chicken or 2 leg quarters
    Once cooked, remove chicken & debone.
    Reserve 1 3/4 cups of stock
    Cook onions & celery as directed (added 2 large garlice cloves, minched)
    Add peas, carrots, chicken, and stock. Let marry for 10-15 min
    Add flour, spices, milk (add more flour to thinken if needed)
    Everything else was by recipe.
    Try 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar in with pie mix if your feeling fancy 😉

    This is my go-to-recipe when it comes to chicken pot pie – it is outstanding, tastes fantastic and such great comfort food. I’ve made it several times, all according to this recipe, and everyone loves it. Thanks!

    My husband said he’s ate a lot of chicken pot pies, this is the best one by far!!! I agree, we love it!!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Oh my! I love hearing that.

  25. John Reply

    Lost my old recipe, that was a family favorite. Just made this….sooooo yummy!! Didn’t change a thing….we have new family comfort food…thank you!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Oh yay!!!

  26. Tricia Reply

    Just made this with some slight modifications…I added a chicken boullion cube, potatoes and corn. I left the celery out…I also added just a touch of half and half with the milk to thicken it up a bit. It tasted AMAZING! Really loved it. It was a great tip to bake the bottom crust for a few mins to avoid soggy-ness. It was crisp and perfect. I found that this recipe actually made us two 9 inch pies… which was great because now we have lunches. That could just be because i added some extra ingredients and chicken though. This recipe is a kepeer!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Oh thank you! I agree there is a lot of filling so you could definitely stretch it out if you like.

  27. KK B Reply

    I figured it is time to add a comment since I have made this at least 10x in the past few months. This is my husband’s FAVORITE THING I HAVE EVER MADE. We both adore it. We have it at least twice a month, but it will probably start being once a week, it is that good. (It’s in the oven right now). Thank you!!!!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      I love, love, love hearing that. Thank you!

  28. Brooke Reply

    Could this be prepped the day before or in the morning then cooked later?

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Sure! I don’t see why not!

  29. vanessa Reply

    My family loves your recipes Each one I make gets my usual “it was ok” up to a “this is great”. Which is quite the leap for my hard to please men!

    Chicken pot pie is one of our favs and we’d like to make it as a care package for some friends who just had a baby. Can it be frozen?

    Any other recipes you’d recommend for a new baby family!!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      I have not tried freezing this but I’m sure you could. You would have to cover it when rebaking so that it doesn’t brown too much. I like doing pastas because if they have other children that’s usually a winner.

    I have made this recipe twice and it is so yummy! I did add Old Bay seasoning to my chicken and red pepper flakes, parsley, and a little oregano to the cream sauce filling to kick it up a notch. Definitely my go to recipe for Chicken Pot Pie!

    • Christy Denney Reply

      Yay!! Thank you!

  31. Ali Reply

    I found this a little long on broth and sauce. Other amounts were okay through. Added tarragon chives and rosemary.

    • Christy Denney Reply

      If you cook the sauce long enough it should be thick.

  32. blythe Reply

    What pan size would you suggest if I don’t have a deep dish pie plate?

    • Christy Denney Reply

      You might be able to fit it in a 9×9 square pan but probably have better luck with an 11×7 pan.

  33. Andrea @ RecipesForDivineLiving Reply

    What a great version of such a classic dish.

    • Christy Denney Reply

      It’s one of our favorites.

  34. Brittney Reply

    My mom made this for me as a “welcome home” dinner – ’cause chicken pot pie is my FAVORITE – and it was such a hit I literally ate like half of it. We’ve been playing around with different chicken pie recipes for years, but we never could get the right “goo” to veg to chicken ratio. This one had it. It’s also great that the “goo,” as I call it, was homemade and not from a can. We’ll definitely be making it again, however, next time we’ll probably double the recipe and cook in a 9 x 13. THANKS!

      I’m so glad you agree!

    Just made it again and it was great like always!

  38. Leah Reply

    I’ve never attempted a pot pie before… but… it is boiling away as I type… just a few more steps and about 45 more minutes and I will know whether this was a flop or a success… but just from the smell of it right now, I’m betting on a huge success! For those of you who added potatoes, about how many did you do? I will definitely want to try that next time! 🙂 thanks!!

  39. Rose Reply

    my husband is real picky so I will probably try it with hamburger or beef stew meat and I am sure it will taste just as good. It can be real hard when you have a picky eater to cook for. But some how I have managed. I have learned how to switch ingredients around or just not tell him what some of the ingredients are to get him to eat. Ha Ha!!!

  40. Kitty Reply

    This may be a dumb question, but should I reserve 3/4 cup of broth or 1&3/4???

      Not a dumb question! It’s 1 cup plus 3/4 cup. Does that help?

    @Anonymous,
    A totally valid question. I put the raw chicken in to boil with the peas.

  46. Anonymous Reply

    This is probably a stupid question but is the chicken raw when you put it in a pan with the peas, etc to boil? I’m assuming so. I have a hard time cooking meats for some reason…..completely clueless!

    • Judy Reply

      In my experience with making this (and I’ve probably made it about 15 times since I first saw on this site!) is that I cook the chicken in a pan, and while that is going I put the veggies sepereate, so when the chicken is just about done I put everything all together. I find that it just takes too long for the chicken to cook when boiling in the pot.

      *and I just gotta say… This IS the absolute BEST Chicken Pot Pie I have EVER had…. my whole family loves this!*

  47. bradycharles Reply

    Thanks so much for this recipe – my hubby loves chicken pot pie & this is his favorite! I tweak it slightly by adding 2 chicken bullion cubes, 1/2 tsp pepper & potatoes! However the original recipe is fabulous as is!!! Thanks again, it’s now a weekly dish my husband begs for 🙂

    Can somebody plz tell me the recipe for the pie crust Coz a readymade crust is not available here.

    i use canned mixed veggies and then add cream of chicken soup. so easy and delish. After i cook chicken (just brown it on the stove) i chop up in soup and veggie mixture and then add to pie pan. I also use the pre-prepared crust. I don’t do a bottom crust because i think it soaks up alot of the yummy broth. It is delicious and super easy

    This dish is wonderful. I made it a few weeks ago and will be making it again this week. One tip: Don’t use the Great Value (Wal Mart) brand crust. It is sweetened, and not good for a savory dish.

    To be honest I do not freeze many things and am not familiar with the best way to freeze pies. I would think just to make sure you wrap it in plastic wrap and then in foil.

    @Rose,
    I would add cubed potato when you add the celery and carrots. The broccoli I’m not sure. Probably you could add it later so it’s not mushy.

  63. Rose Reply

    Oh I love pot pie & will definitely have to try this!! I am not a fan of peas whatsoever, so I’ll probably substitute with some broccoli. I’m thinking some cubed potato would be nice as well. When would you suggest I add these two??

    I made this tonight, and my husband said it was better than his Mom’s!! He has never said that before. I was not fortunate enough to meet his mother, she passed before we met. My husband & others always brag about what a great cook she was. I used fresh carrots, because he does not like frozen, and added a potato. Thanks for the recipe!

    I made this pot pie last night for my mom…chicken pot pie is her favorite meal and she’s been making her mother’s recipe for years, but she said this was better! She loved it and I did too. I think boiling the chicken and veggies in the chicken stock gives it a lot of flavor that’s not always there. Thanks, Christy! Your site NEVER fails me!

  72. chattyszakacs Reply

    Made this last night – sooooo good! The filling/sauce is delicious. I took @Amy Kelly’s advice and added a boullion cube and red skinned potatoes. I also used a ready-made bottom crust and put Bisquick biscuits on top. Next time, I’ll skip the bottom crust and just go for the Bisquick because I wanted more of that great filling! Good news: I have lots of filling left over so it’s in the freezer and will be perfect for a cold day…will be getting a lot of those soon in Columbus, Ohio!

    I’ve been making this same recipe (from Allrecipes.com) for a year now. It is SO good. The first time my husband tired it he said, “Wow….WOW, this is like a symphony in my mouth…flavored to perfection”. That means a lot coming from a conductor!

For the filling I used a bag of frozen mixed veggies and I also added potatoes as well. I added a cube of chicken bouillon also and the sauce was so flavorful and amazing! I have been meaning to make this again ever since and your post has given me the push to do just that!
