Are you intimidated by the idea of homemade chicken pot pie? This recipe for Easy Chicken Pot Pie is the perfect starter recipe for anyone wanting to give it a try for the first time (or a great simple recipe for those pros out there!).

Pot Pie Recipe

Truth be told, when Aunt Lou was visiting the other day she saw this pie on the counter and quipped if Michael (hers not mine… yes it is a little confusing, but we don’t get confused and that is what is important 😉 ) expected a homemade pot pie like mine with a light flaky crust like that, he better have another thought coming…

I giggled…

Then I pulled her aside and told her my secret.

Well actually it is my pal Liz’s secret… my go to baking bloggy bud…(Check her out over on Two Maids a Milking)

She told me years ago that you buy the pie crust dough in the refrigerator aisle and put it in your own pie dish and no one knows the difference.

Bloggy Buds

Did I mention how much I love Liz? Girlfriend can bake like a pro… used to work at a bakery even, but she totally gets that sometimes the dough in the refrigerator aisle is totally fine and admits to it… she gets me.

Need further proof about the nice roll out sheets of dough are the secret in kitchens across America? I was standing looking at the dough the other day… totally thinking through another recipe and this woman comes up to me and whispers…

“Get it. You won’t regret it.”

Before I could respond, she went full on commercial on me.

“No sweetie, really. They are fantastic. Really good. Do yourself a favor!”

Rather than explaining I had been using them for years thanks to Liz, I just politely thanked her and smiled.

So there you and Aunt Lou have it… the secret to the wonderfully flaky crust is Pillsbury’s, not mine 😉

Truth be told there are other secrets hidden in this pie too… namely the 3 cups of chicken in it totally came from a store bought rotisserie chicken! I just pulled the meat off of the bones and tossed them in my food processor to roughly chop it.

Pot Pie

I tell on myself to hopefully encourage someone out there to give it a try and not be intimidated. This really is a great simple way to make  a pot pie that folks will swear was totally from-scratch.

The original inspiration for this Chicken Pot Pie is found in the new Gooseberry Patch Cookbook: Everyday Simple Suppers (enter to win a copy) as Turkey Pot Pie.

I obviously switched out chicken for the turkey and added some celery to the recipe… because it just felt right ;)… also I am practicing with my food processor to get over my issues (more on that on another day).

I also brushed on a basic egg wash before baking to get that nice golden coloring on my pie.
