Comfort food doesn’t get cozier or more crowd-pleasing than this Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole. It takes all the creamy, savory goodness of a traditional chicken pot pie and transforms it into a quick-bake casserole with a flaky golden topping that’s irresistibly buttery. Whether you’re looking for a weeknight dinner idea or something hearty to bring to a potluck, this dish delivers every time.

What makes this casserole so special is how easily it comes together using convenient ingredients without sacrificing that homemade taste. The tender chicken, sweet peas, diced carrots, and creamy sauce combine under a biscuit or crescent dough crust for a one-pan meal that hits all the comforting notes. It’s warm, flavorful, and exactly what your soul needs on a chilly evening.

Why You’ll Love This Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

This casserole simplifies the process of making chicken pot pie from scratch without cutting back on flavor. You don’t need to roll out dough or prep a million ingredients. Most of what you need may already be in your kitchen, making it a budget-friendly meal option. Plus, it’s super versatile. You can swap the veggies, use leftover chicken, or make it ahead for a meal-prep win.

It also reheats beautifully, which makes it ideal for leftovers and lunchboxes. And kids love it too—you can serve it with a side salad or even eat it on its own for a full, satisfying meal.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use on Top?

While a traditional pie uses a pastry crust, this casserole version gives you options. You can top it with buttery crescent roll dough, biscuit dough, or even puff pastry if you’re feeling fancy. Crescent rolls tend to give a light, fluffy top with a golden finish, while biscuits offer a more rustic, hearty bite. If you’re using puff pastry, be sure to let it defrost and then gently lay it over your filling so it doesn’t sink.

Ingredients for the Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

The beauty of this recipe is how adaptable it is, but there are a few essentials that make it extra delicious. Here’s what you’ll need to bring it to life:

• Cooked chicken: This is the hearty base. Rotisserie chicken works great and saves time.
• Frozen mixed vegetables: Classic peas, carrots, corn, and green beans give a colorful and nutritious filling.
• Cream of chicken soup: Provides that creamy, savory backbone without making a roux.
• Milk: Helps loosen the soup and makes the sauce velvety.
• Garlic powder: Adds a subtle depth of flavor.
• Black pepper: Balances the creaminess with just the right amount of spice.
• Cheddar cheese: Optional but recommended for a melty, cheesy touch.
• Crescent roll dough or biscuit dough: Your golden crust that finishes the dish beautifully.

How to Make the Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. If you’re using rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. Measure out your frozen vegetables and let them thaw slightly.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, stir together the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese if using. Make sure everything is combined well.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the chicken mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Unroll the crescent dough or place the biscuit dough over the top. If using crescent rolls, gently pinch the seams together to form a sheet.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving to help it set.

How to Serve and Store This Casserole

This Easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole feeds about 6 hungry people and pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad. For serving, a simple scoop out of the pan does the job—this is comfort food, after all, not fine dining!

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or microwave individual portions.
