Chicken Pot Pie Recipe with Puff Pastry
As soon as the leaves begin to turn and begin to drop, I start thinking of all the delicious dishes that are so appropriate for what I like to call the snuggly season! 🙂 There are few things as comforting as a deep dish of chicken pot pie.
How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Recipe
Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients
To make, you’ll need the following:
- Olive Oil
- Chicken
- Onion
- Potato
- Carrots
- Butter
- All-Purpose Flour
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Chicken Stock
- Puff Pastry thawed
Step-By-Step Instructions for the Best Chicken Pot Pie
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- Drizzle the olive oil into a heavy Dutch oven or pot set over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the Dutch oven to a plate.
- Add the onions, potatoes, and carrots and cook until the onions are translucent and the potatoes and carrots are slightly tender, about 8 minutes. Add the butter and allow to melt. Then, stir in the flour, salt, and pepper and cook until thickened, about 2 more minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add back in the chicken and their juices.
- Ladle the chicken pot pie filling into a 3-quart casserole dish or individual dishes set on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet. Top with puff pastry. Trim the edges of the puff pastry to about 1/2-inch overhang of the rim of the baking dish. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit in the puff pastry as a vent to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake until golden brown and the pot pie is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
Can You Make Individual Servings?
Yes! You can use one 3-quart baking dish or ladle into individual oven-safe baking dishes.
Make Ahead Chicken Pot Pie
At this point, you can cover each of the chicken pot pies with aluminum by wrapping tightly and storing in the refrigerator for a bit before baking, you can store them in the freezer or you can go ahead and bake as directed.
Can You Use Rotisserie Chicken in Chicken Pot Pie?
To save time, you can also use a rotisserie chicken in your chicken pot pie. This will reduce the cooking time substantially! You’ll omit the step of cooking the chicken in step 2 of the instruction and simply add your shredded, already cooked chicken into the recipe at end of step 3. If you prefer, you can also use other pre-cooked chicken, leftovers, etc. It will be delicious!

I used your baking method for leftover turkey and gravy, plus peas, carrots, potatoes, pearl onions topped with Trader Joe’s all butter puff pastry. Excellent! Your sauce sounds great I couldn’t waste turkey gravy
I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe, Kate!
I am making this later today. I think I will use my Dutch over to cook in oven, any idea as to how long to bake? Can I use a pastry sheet on the bottom and top or too much crust? Thank you, this sounds delish!
I’m sorry, Dawn, but I haven’t made this in a Dutch oven with pastry sheet on bottom and top. I can’t tell you the time it would take for this to bake.
I loved this simple, delicious, comforting dish.
