Ingredients
For the exact measurements for the easy chicken pot pie recipe please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- 4-6 cups cooked chicken, diced - leftover rotisserie chicken? That's perfect for this recipe.
- cream of chicken soup, though you can substitute with cream of mushroom, celery or even a can of cream of potato soup.
- evaporated milk - half and half, or milk would be a great substitute.
- crescent roll dough - it makes a perfect buttery crust! You can substitute with pie crust, puff pastry, or refrigerated store-bought biscuits. I especially like the crescent rolls, they are super buttery!
- frozen vegetables - I used mixed veggies, they include green beans, peas, corn, carrots, red bell pepper and green bell pepper.
- ranch seasoning - I love using seasoning as a quick flavor shortcut. You could also use Italian seasoning, or dry French onion soup mix. Of course you can use salt and black pepper as well.

FAQ's
Do the frozen vegetables need to be thawed?
No, you do not need to thaw the frozen vegetables first. They go from the freezer to the casserole dish.
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
Absolutely! You'll want at least four cups of fresh vegetables, diced into small bite sized pieces.
Why is it called it chicken pot pie?
Typically served in a pie plate along with a crust, it mimics a pie.
Can I add a crust on the bottom?
Yes, you can add a bottom crust. It will need to be pre-baked prior to adding the chicken mixture. Often times the bottom of casserole dish gets soggy, so this recipe eliminates that step!
Tips
- Be sure to allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven.
Variations
Instead of canned crescent rolls, use a store-bought pie crust. You can also use canned biscuits for the crust as well.
Fat free cream of chicken soup is a great substitute. You can also use cream of broccoli soup or cream of mushroom or celery.

I made a recipe with crescent roll dough another time and my son was not fond of the sweetness of the dough. Is the butter flavor one less sweet?

That's a great question Michelle. The flavor is similar on both versions. Instead, you could make a drop biscuit (Bisquick type dough) or Pillsbury Grand biscuits. That would work great as well. I totally understand the crescent roll dough isn't for everyone!
