A homemade chicken pot pie is comfort food at its best! The ingredients are simple but I put jut a little extra effort into this hearty dish to prepare the chicken from scratch. It’s worth it!
Chicken Pot Pie is like Vegetable soup in a casserole! It’s a delicious stick-to-the-ribs hearty dish we usually prefer to enjoy in the winter months.
My recipe is almost from scratch. Why do I say almost? Here’s why!
- We cheat a little bit with the crusts by using pie crusts
- Frozen vegetables save us time and money

This recipe begins by boiling a hen so we have fresh broth and chicken. That freshness adds tons of flavor to this dish and allows the opportunity to save some chicken and broth for another meal. You know, cook once, eat twice is a great way to stretch the budget.
The recipe only calls for one cup of broth which means there will be plenty to freeze for other recipes! Chicken Broth freezes well.

One of the best parts of any chicken pot pie is the crust! I like to make mine in an oblong casserole dish rather than a round deep dish for more crust per serving. Be sure to poke some holes for venting.
One of my shortcuts is using refrigerated pie crusts which is a big time saver.
Printable recipe at the end
Frozen Vegetables, cream of potato soup and chicken broth combine to make a scrumptious filling for this Chicken Pot Pie. Heating the pie filling on top of the stove prior to baking helps to meld all of the flavors.
It’s an added bonus that this is a one dish meal too! This Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is so good, you will want to eat it again the next day. That is why I usually double the recipe and plan for leftovers the next day.

Love this pie and I love that you use cream of potato instead of cream of chicken soup. Thanks for sharing with us at #WednesdaysWisdom
Melinda says
Hmm, we always use cream of chicken. What kind of different flavor does the potato soup add?
Shirley Wood says
We like the Cream of Potato soup because it add the little potatoes to the pie. I’ve used the cream of chicken when I didn’t have the potato but with the chicken pieces and the chicken broth already added, I thought the potato would be nice. We like it! Try it and let me know what you think.
