Forget those frozen things...this is the real deal.

The Best Homemade Chicken Pot Pie - Easy to make and freeze - FamilyFreshMeals.com

Pop quiz time, everyone: raise your hand if you’ve ever had chicken pot pie.

OK, good. Now, if the chicken pot pie you had was a little single-serving thing that came out of a box in the freezer, put your hand down again. Because you haven’t really had chicken pot pie.

A homemade chicken pot pie is a thing of beauty. It’s a savory blend of chicken, veggies, and potatoes, smothered in a rich, creamy gravy…all baked into a crisp, flaky, golden crust.

Now maybe if you’re a vegetarian, or you share your home with one, you might think you need to settle for frozen pot pies because you can’t make a homemade chicken pot pie without the chicken. Never fear! All you need is a good chicken substitute, like Morning Star Chik’n Strips, and some veggie broth to make the gravy. All the other ingredients – taters, veggies, and TLC – are just the same.

This really is The Beast Homemade Chicken Pot Pie. Don’t believe me? Just try it and see. This recipe makes two potpies, so you can do one meat and one veggie, or you can make one and freeze the other for later. Then you get the best of both worlds – a homemade pie that needs no work except heating up.

NOTE: This recipe make 2 pies. If you are only wanting 1, cut ingredients in half.

      The weather turned chilly quickly which sent me in search of a warm comforting meal for dinner. I came across this one. It was easy to prepare. Made both pies for six adults. We didn’t have a pea left in the pans! Delicious recipe! It’s a keeper for sure. The only thing I added was a little thyme. Thank you. My family loved it.

    If making the two pies, wouldn’t it be necessary to buy two packages of pie crust. The ingredients as written makes two pies.

        Yes, Ruth, I agree. I am making it now and it calls for two pie plates with a bottom crust and top crust. You would think it would need two packages of the crust?

            I’m so confused. I bought pie crusts but am i only needing dough for the top? Where am i to get just crust for the top? I got two pies in one package. And why does it say 1/2 cup of cream parsley but its not in the ingredient list? Is cream of parsley a thing? I need some help, i’m supposed to make this tonight for dinner and dont want to disappoint. =(

            Hi Carly,
            I am sorry the comma isn’t showing up in the recipe card between cream and parsley. They are 2 seperate things. It should read, 1/2 cup cream, parsley. Also, as it is stated in the the beginning of the post, this makes 2 pot pies. You can make 2 and freeze 1. That is why you need 2 crusts 🙂 One for each pie. I hope that helps!

        Corey, I like a bottom crust for my Potpies. If I do a bottom crust would I have to increase the cooking time or make any temperature changes? Great recipe, but can’t stop myself from modifying.

          If you do a bottom crust, I would par-bake it for about 5-10 mins before putting the filling it to keep it crispier. Other than that, I wouldn’t change anything. I hope that helps 🙂

        Hi, it says garlic salt under instructions #2. I used fat free milk because I did not have cream and it still turned out well. Also, added some Herbs Au Provence because I like them with chicken. This was delicious and it will be my go to from now on.

      August 8, 2016 at 11:16 am

      I personally have never used almond milk for this recipe. I think it should work fine. The cream is a thicker consistency, so you might not need to add as much almond milk.

    My husband and I have been craving a nice homemade pot pie. I looked on line for over an hour before I found one that peeked my interest (and I had all the ingredients on hand) So very glad I did. My husband is the pastry king in the house so he made that and I made the rest. OMG we both love it. EXACTLY the flavour we were looking for. THANK YOU for sharing!

    I have 2 round pans but the clear glass one is 8″ and I believe the white one is ceramic and fits inside the 8″ one so its safe to assume it is probably 7″ or a lil less….how would those work out in regards to the crusts? I know the cruts are for 9″ pies…just trim them? I wish I could post a pic of the 2 round pie dishes I have so you could see what I mean. Thanks in advance, was thinking to try this out tonite 🙂

    This recipe was a hit! I made it for 2 of my grandkids and family last night!! Everyone loved it!! Didn’t get to freeze the second pie as everyone went back for seconds! I think next time I will make it with a bottom crust as well…..just because we all love crust!!! I did add some broccoli and mushrooms which was great. This one is going in my recipe file!! If you make it with no bottom crust you might as well make in two square or rectangular pans since you will be scooping and not slicing!! This would also work well in individual aluminum pans and cut the crust into small rounds!! Great for quick single meals! Thanks for sharing!!

    The recipe asks for 3 cups of chicken but omits the word Broth. Then it says it cooks for 1 hour and 15 mins but in the directions it says cover and cook for 40 to 45 mins step 4… but then adds step 8- bake at 425 for 30 mins reduce heat, remove foil and cook another 55 to 69 mins. The ingredients lists salt but the directions call for garlic salt- and you already added three cloves. My pie turned out fine but I threw out this recipe.

    This CPP is absolutely delicious! I made both for a family gathering and both were eaten up–not a bite left! My brother in law had thirds! It was delicious. Perfect ratios on everything. I shredded a rotisserie chicken and the flavor was just fantastic. I added a crust to the bottom and baked for a few minutes longer–I know, I know, “real” CPP doesn’t have a bottom, but I like it with one. Thank you for a great recipe–I just printed it and it’s going in my family favorites binder.

      Deb, one baking time is for a frozen pot pie, the other is if you are making it right away. Each time is labeled as such. If you already added minced garlic, you can just add salt.

      Hey Jen, since you already did bake it, and then froze, I would Do 375-degree F and bake until lightly browned and bubbly, about 30 to 45 minutes.

    Baked one pie and froze the other one. Delicious and my husband loved it. I was a little confused though when I took the frozen one out to bake. Tried to follow the information in Step 6 but found that to be inaccurate as the pie was not ready after the 30 – 45 minutes so I am assuming that Step 8 was what should have been followed. Is the foil supposed to be used in this step?

      Yes Carol, for the frozen version you need first let it sit out for about 30 mins at room temp, and then cook for 45 mins. Yes, loosely cover pie with foil. I hope that helps.

    I made & cooked both pies last time, and my twins loved them. I did put one in the fridge for another dinner – what is the best way to reheat the already cooked pie? I saw your frozen pie reheating instructions, though.

    Is there a preferred kind of potato to use? I used the regular brown baking potato kind…yes, I’m cooking challenged.

    Delicious, so tasty! I loved this recipe, used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of cream, added a little summer savory seasoning, and baked in ramekins. I cut one pie crust to cover 4 ramekins, the individual pot pies were amazing!

    This truly is one of the best pot pies I’ve ever made! Thank you so much for such a delicious recipe that doesn’t use cream of chicken soup. For mine I used frozen puff pastry for the top, because I had it. Definitely making it again, and will be freezing. My husband is already asking for it! Thanks again.

    I am looking forward to making this recipe and I plan to freeze one pie to give to a new mom. I want to give her the correct instructions, but am a little confused on whether to use #6 or #8 for baking after freezing. Both give different oven temps and times. Thank you!

      Sorry for the confusion Lauren, when we changed recipe cards, the info came up weird. The recipe card should be all fixed now.

    Making this tonight! How long do you saute the potatoes, carrots, etc to get them tender and at what heat setting?

    I’ve never had nor made a pot pie that didn’t have both a bottom & top crust. I’m going to make this tonight with both a bottom & top crust. I’ll just decrease the ingredients a little and I, too, will add a little thyme. I don’t have heavy cream but I do have 1/2 & 1/2 and I’m sure it will work just fine. Happy to see there in no corn in this recipe. I can tell by the ingredients that this will, no doubt, be very good.

    This makes TWO PIES!! I made the entire recipe and then realized that. Fortunately, I was watching the amounts closely, I did not overdo! I got it into a deep dish pan which the men in my house, cannot wait to gobble. The mixture is delicious. Just know it makes TWO delicious pot pies.

    This is seriously the most delicious homemade pot pie recipe! Wow! I followed the recipe exactly. I did add about 1/2 c. corn. I prefer to have a crust on both top and bottom so I followed the advice of others and baked the bottom crust separately at 375° for about 7-9 minutes (until it looked mostly cooked). I made sure to poke holes with a fork all over the bottom crust before baking it to stop the crust from bubbling up. The 2 pot pies turned out perfectly. I seriously can’t wait to make this again. It’s delicious and definitely worth all five stars!

    This is a great recipe! Easy to follow directions, easy prep and delicious to eat! Both my toddler and hubby gobble it up when I make it, it’s a great way to sneak in extra veggies too !

    I made this pie. I normally do not like pot pies
    My granddaughter gave me this recipe and I
    Roasted my chicken first. I also use a bottom crust.
    I cooked the crust first for five minutes.
    This is the most awesome and delicious pot pie.
    I will make this again.
