This creamy, savory chicken pot pie casserole is the perfect comfort food for busy weeknights, combining tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a golden-brown crust in one easy dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, and green beans)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk or a non-dairy alternative like oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 egg, beaten (for brushing the crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
  6. Pour the creamy filling into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Roll out the pie crust (if needed) and place it on top of the filling. Tuck the edges of the crust into the dish to seal.
  8. Lightly brush the beaten egg over the crust for a golden, shiny finish.
  9. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use cold butter for the roux to prevent it from burning.’, ‘If the filling looks too thick, add a splash of broth or milk to loosen it up.’, ‘Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the crust for extra crispiness.’, ‘Prep the filling ahead of time to save time on busy days.’, ‘Let the filling cool slightly before topping it with the crust to avoid sogginess.’]
