• Feel free to add extra herbs or spices, such as rosemary or garlic powder, to enhance the flavor of the filling.
• Place casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips from dirtying the bottom of the oven.

• Leftover turkey can be substituted for the chicken.

🙋 Easy Chicken Potpie FAQ's

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Absolutely! You can use fresh vegetables in place of frozen ones. Simply blanch or sauté them until they are slightly tender before adding them to the filling.

Can I make the pot pie ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the pot pie ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if the filling is cold from the refrigerator.

Can I freeze the pot pie?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled pot pie before baking. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and it can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bake it directly from frozen, adding extra time as needed.
