Table of Contents
This chicken pot pie bake recipe is perfect to give you those nostalgic feelings of Sunday dinners at Grandma’s. With just 7 simple ingredients, you end up with a beautiful, classic pot pie crust, without any of the work!
Chicken Pot Pie Bake Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 22.6-ounce can of cream of chicken soup
- 3 cups of whole milk
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 16-ounce package of frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 2 to 3 cups of pre-cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
- 3 refrigerated rolled pie crusts, 1½ packages of the standard 14-ounce 2-pack
Substitutions And Additions
VEGETABLES: If you’d like some more veggies to fill your pot pie right to the top, you can add diced onions or potatoes.
ONION POWDER: If you don’t have any onion powder, you can use finely grated fresh onion as a substitute.
WHOLE MILK: If you don’t have any whole milk, you can use ⅝ cup skim milk and ⅜ cup half and half to substitute. Another option is ⅔ cup 1 percent milk and ½ cup half and half.
How To Make This Chicken Pot Pie Bake Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 425°F.
STEP TWO: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, pepper, and onion powder.
STEP THREE: Stir in peas, carrots, and chicken. Set it aside.
STEP FOUR: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pie crusts and roll each one gently into a rectangular shape. Do not roll too thin.
Then, cut one crust in half and add each half crust onto the whole crust. Roll gently to blend the edges. Form each new crust into a rectangle slightly larger than a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.
STEP FIVE: Press the first crust across the bottom and up the sides of a 9×13-inch glass baking dish. Press the crust all the way to the top edge. If you have a little overlap, that is ideal.
STEP SIX: Pour the soup mixture into the crust and spread it out evenly.
STEP SEVEN: Place the second crust over the top of the baking dish. Pinch together the bottom and the top crusts where they meet at the edge.
If needed, tuck some of the excess from the top crust down along the outer edge of the bottom crust and pinch to seal.
STEP EIGHT: Cut a few slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
STEP NINE: Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Cover the crust edges with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning if the top isn’t browned yet.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your pot pie at the lower end of the recommended baking time.

Frequently Asked Questions
While this recipe features chicken, you can easily swap it with turkey, beef, or even plant-based alternatives like tofu or chickpeas. Adjust the cooking time accordingly based on the meat you choose.
If you’re a cheese lover, feel free to sprinkle some shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top of the filling before adding the crust. The melted cheese will add a delightful gooeyness and extra flavor to the dish.
If you notice the crust browning too fast, cover it loosely with foil to prevent it from burning. This will allow the filling to continue cooking while protecting the crust.

Does this freeze well after cooked? I made it tonight and we have way too much so I wanted to freeze it to have in a few weeks but I don’t want the crust to get soggy

Hi, Tina – you can freeze this! Freeze any leftovers in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 3 months. Pot pie can be assembled and frozen in advance; bring to room temperature and then bake.
Brooke says
If I add potato’s, do I cook them before adding in or do they cook while in the oven?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Brooke – I would cook them for a few minutes before adding so that they’re mostly done and can finish baking with the rest of the dish. Enjoy!
Debbie says
I always add potatoes in mine. Peel potatoes and cut in cubes. I boil the potatoes along with fresh or frozen carrots and green peas until tender.
Jess says
