Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 12 oz Frozen Peas and Carrots, thawed – classic pot pie veggies
• 2 cups Frozen Diced Potatoes, thawed – I love using Potatoes O’Brien for a shortcut
• 1 cup Chicken Broth – brings moisture and flavor
• ¾ tsp Poultry Seasoning – gives that traditional pot pie flavor

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

This dish comes together in layers. Start with a pre-baked crust, make a creamy filling, and finish with a golden top crust.

Step 1: Prep the Crust

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Spray a 13″x9″ baking dish with cooking spray.
3. Open one tube of crescent rolls and press the dough into the bottom of the dish, pinching the seams together.
4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven.

Tip: Pre-baking the crust keeps it from getting soggy under all that creamy filling.

For Step 2: Sauté the Onions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil.
2. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

Step 3: Add Filling Ingredients

1. Lower heat to medium.
2. Add in the cooked chicken, peas and carrots, potatoes, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
3. Stir everything together well.
4. Cover and let it heat through for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

And Step 4: Stir in Soup and Creaminess

1. Turn off the heat.
2. Add the cream of chicken soup and stir until fully combined. It should be thick, rich, and full of goodness.

Optional: Stir in some shredded cheddar if you want to up the cheesy comfort factor.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

1. Pour the creamy chicken mixture over the pre-baked crescent crust.
2. Open the second tube of crescent rolls and gently stretch it across the top.
3. Pinch seams and edges together so the top crust seals in the filling.
4. Cut 4 small slits in the top to let steam escape.
5. Brush with a little milk for that golden shine.

For Step 6: Final Bake

1. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 20–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
2. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations to Try

• Use rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey
• Swap cream of chicken with cream of mushroom for depth
• Add corn, green beans, or sautéed mushrooms
• Sprinkle in shredded cheese for a creamy twist
• Make it spicy with a pinch of cayenne or dash of hot sauce

Make Ahead, Freeze, and Store

This casserole makes a great meal prep option or freezer meal:

• Make Ahead: Assemble (but don’t bake) and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
• To Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze before baking. Thaw overnight and bake as directed.
• Leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

FAQs About Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

What makes this a “casserole” and not a regular pot pie?
Casseroles are typically baked in one dish and layered — this recipe skips the pastry fuss but keeps the flavor!

Can I use fresh veggies instead of frozen?
Yes! Just cook them slightly first so they’re not too crunchy.

Why is my crust soggy?
Always bake the bottom layer before adding filling. It makes a big difference.

How do I know when it’s done?
The top should be golden and puffed. You can also insert a knife to check if it’s hot all the way through.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Try using a dairy-free cream soup and skip the milk wash on top.
