Make-Ahead Chicken Pot Pie

This is a wonderful recipe to use with leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. If you don’t have leftover chicken, you can easily shred some boneless chicken for the pot pie. This recipe is great for when you need a quick dinner for one or two people or when you are wanting a yummy lunch to take with you to work or school.

Pot Pie Filling

Recipe

After preparing the chicken pot pie mixture, it’s time to create an easy dough crush. Using store-bought pie crust, cut the dough according to the shape of your loaf pans. I LOVE using disposable aluminum loaf pans because they’re easy for freezing and for baking. Plus, the clean-up can’t be beat! Of course, you can always use a homemade pie crust, if desired.

Pot Pie Crust

Portion the chicken pot pie filling between the loaf pans and top with the cut crust. Cut slits in the top pie crust to allow steam to escape. You can also use a fork to poke holes in the top crust.

Freezer Pot Pie Recipe

To freeze: wrap with tin foil, followed by plastic wrap. When you’re ready to bake, brush the pie tops with an egg wash and bake until golden perfection. See the timing below for baking details.

Allow the beautiful pot pie to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. By this point, the kitchen smells SO GOOD that you’re bound to have some family members gathered ready to eat! Are you cooking for one? Consider making Individual Mini Pot Pies instead!
