How to make Chicken pot pie
1. Lay the pie crust out and cut circles using a small bowl or cup.
2, Place the pie crust in the bottom of the 5" pie tins.
3. Add the filling.
4. Place the top crust on the pie and using a fork seal the edges down.
5. Cut three slits at the top of the pie.
6. Brush the egg wash over the top crust so it gets golden brown while baking.
Recipe Tips!
• Use a rotisserie chicken, always my go-to when I dont have any leftover chicken.
• Use leftovers from Thanksgiving instead of chicken.
• I use premade pie crust but if you want to make your own pie crust try this Homemade Buttery Flaky Crust!
• Feel free to switch up the veggies to whatever you have on hand.

- Whisk egg white with 1 tablespoon water brush over top of crust.
- Make 2-3 slits in the middle of the top to let the steam release.
- Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil in case they spill over. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
How would you recommend storing and reheating the pies if you’re not freezing them but plan to eat them throughout the week? I’m scared it will get soggy!
I love this recipe! I made this recipe last year and have saved it again for this year. Eat some fresh then freeze some. 🙂
This recipe is for single-serving mini pot pies. I get 5 mini pies (5-inch tins) out of one box of pie crusts. You can actually get about 10 mini pies if you only put on a top crust. Hope this helps 🙂
I love chicken pot pies. I can't understand how you can get five 5" pies out of a box with two regular sized pie crusts in it. I would only be able to get one. Please explain this to me.
Thank you.
Sounds really good. But if you want to go a little further, before you put the top crust on, sprinkle a little celery seed on it and roll it in. Then place on top. Makes for a more savory taste.
Depends on the size of your baking tins. If you're using a 5 inch pie tin. Then I would use a glass to cut the crust for the bottom. About a 5 inch bowl to do the crust for top. Hope that helps Sandra 🙂
what size boul did you use to cut the pie crust
Yes you can flip these over into a bowl Ginger 🙂
How does the bottom crust come out? I used to love the frozen chicken pot pies from Swanson. I would bake them and then turn them out Ina a bowl. The bottom and top crusts were sooo good.
Woohoo Sandra! I'm so glad you guys loved them.
