Classic Chicken Pot Pie
If you asked us what the perfect comfort meal is, we’d have to say homemade chicken pot pie! This top-rated and viewed recipe on Pillsbury.com was originally developed in the Pillsbury Test Kitchens in 1999 for a pie booklet. It was also featured on our refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust box. This chicken pot pie recipe features leftover cooked chicken and frozen mixed veggies in a thick, buttery-rich sauce, all tucked inside flaky pie pastry. It’s a warm, satisfying dinner perfect for any meal of the week.
Over the years, we’ve perfected this recipe in a few ways. We’ve added a 1/4 cup more chicken broth and 3 tablespoons less milk for the best-tasting sauce. We also found that baking the pie in a glass pie plate ensures the flakiest crust. Our pro tip: cover the edge of the pie during the last portion of baking for a picture-perfect finish. You’ll find our updates over the years to this tried-and-true dish make it even simpler and scrumptious. This year-round classic is ideal for using up leftover chicken and will be ready to enjoy in about an hour!
