Brenda Easy Pot Pie To Die For

Cool slightly before serving: Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Tips for the Best Pot Pie
Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. It’s flavorful, tender, and pairs perfectly with the creamy filling.
Enhance the Flavor: For added depth, sprinkle a pinch of thyme, rosemary, or paprika into the filling.
Prevent Soggy Crust: Pre-bake the bottom crust for 5–7 minutes before adding the filling to keep it flaky.
Customize the Veggies: If you’re not a fan of canned vegetables, use fresh or frozen vegetables like peas, carrots, green beans, or corn.
Double the Recipe: Make two pies and freeze one for a future meal. Pot pies freeze beautifully and reheat well.
Variations

3. Cheddar-Topped Pot Pie
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling before adding the top crust for a cheesy twist.

FAQs
1. Can I use homemade pie crust instead of store-bought?
Absolutely! Homemade pie crust will give the pot pie a richer, buttery flavor. However, using store-bought crusts saves time and still delivers delicious results.

2. How do I store leftover pot pie?
Cover leftovers tightly with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.

3. Can I freeze pot pie?
Yes! Assemble the pie as directed but do not bake it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding an additional 15–20 minutes to the cooking time.

4. Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and substitute the milk with almond or oat milk. Check that your pie crust and soup are also dairy-free.

5. Can I add more spices to the filling?
Of course! Feel free to customize the flavor with additional spices like paprika, thyme, or onion powder. A dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper can also add a kick.
