Making your own crust takes this pot pie to the next level.

What is chicken pot pie?

It’s a savory pie filled with cooked chicken, onion, carrot, and peas in a creamy sauce.

Do you have to make your own pie crust?

Heck no! We opt to because the only thing better than your same ol’ chicken pot pie is chicken pot pie with a buttery, flaky homemade crust, but store-bought pie crust is a super helpful hack when you don’t want to spend time making a crust from scratch.

How do you make sure your bottom crust doesn’t get soggy?

This all depends on not having a soupy chicken filling. The filling should be thick when it comes off the stove; too much chicken broth and you’ll run the risk of it seeping through your crust before it’s baked.

Can you make chicken pot pie ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the filling up to a day in advance and you can freeze a whole unbaked chicken pot pie for up to two months.
