The Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole recipe is one of the most popular dishes in the country. Why not? With it’s flaky, buttery crust and creamy, savory sauce covering diced chicken, celery, onions, potatoes, carrots, and peas, even kids love it.
One of the challenges of dinner time is finding a new way to cook chicken for dinner. We all have this dilemna, right? That is why I have so many chicken recipes. Sometimes the traditional classic dishes, like this Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole recipe, are the best. They are popular comfort foods for a reason. They are delicious, inexpensive, and feed a crowd. Another benefit is that it makes a perfect one pot meal.
Chicken Pot Pie does not have to be difficult; and it can be made without any cream of whatever soups.
It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken (or turkey).
I often use frozen vegetables, especially on weeknights. Usually I will use frozen peas and carrots. However, this time I had frozen onions, celery, and carrots. So I used that instead of fresh this time. I believe in using whatever you have on hand.
Another shortcut I have is using a refrigerated pie crust. It is a time saver, especially on weeknights. Go ahead and make this. Your family will love it.
