Add this easy Chicken Pot Pie Casserole to your quick weeknight dinner idea list. Pot Pies make for a comforting meal during the fall and winter months. Since this recipe uses store bought crescent rolls for the crust, it comes together quite easily. You can grill a few chicken breasts or use a store bought rotisserie chicken too!
Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
When fall arrives, we begin having more at home family dinners. The entire family is ready to spend more time at home being warm and cozy. Our family likes to enjoy comfort foods like Slow Cooker Chili and Stove Top Mac & Cheese as well as casserole dishes that really fill us up.
This weekend, a bit of chilly weather hit Cincinnati. We all spent the majority of our weekend in pj’s watching movies. Since we were all in the mood for comfort food, I decided a casserole would make for a great Sunday dinner. I whipped up this Chicken Pot Pie casserole for all of us to enjoy.
MY LATEST RECIPES
Since my kiddos love our CopyCat KFC Pot Pie, I made this casserole very similar.
The chicken drenched in a gravy mixture with carrots, peas, and potatoes was a hit. The store bought crescent rolls kept me from spending too much time in the kitchen. This casserole was perfect, quick, easy, and delish.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb Chicken Breast
12 oz Frozen Peas and Carrots, thawed
2 cup Frozen Diced Potatoes, thawed (like Hash Browns or Potatoes OBrien)
1 Onion diced
2 can Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup
1 cup Water
2 cans Refrigerated Crescent Rolls.
1/2 tsp Poultry Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste.
DIRECTIONS
Grill chicken breasts until cooked through. Allow to cool.
Grill diced onions until transparent. Set aside.
Dice chicken into 1/2″ cubes.
Preheat oven to 350.
Grease a 11×13″ baking dish.
Unroll 1 can of crescent rolls and pinch perforations to seal into a sheet. Press into bottom and up sides of prepared disk. Don’t worry if sides do not go all the way up.
Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is light brown.
Allow to cool.
In a large skillet, combine chicken cubes, diced onion, water, potatoes and peas and carrots.
Stir and cook over medium heat until ingredients are warm (5-10 minutes).
Add soup and poultry seasoning and continue heating for another 5 minutes. If sauce looks too thick, slowly add a little more water until desired consistency is reached.
Pour chicken mixture over baked crust and spread evenly.
Unroll other can of crescent rolls and pinch perforations to seal into a sheet. Place over top of chicken mixture and press into sides of dish.
Bake for 25 minutes or until top is golden brown.
We had one piece left of this casserole and I am looking forward to heating it in the microwave for lunch today. YUM!

I just LOVE that you put a picture of the ingredient packages along with the recipe. Talk about knowing at a glance what is needed!!! 😉
How ma y servings?
This looks really good. We love chicken pot pie at our house and this looks even better with the crescent rolls. I pinned! Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
Yummy!!!! Will definitely make this again. I cooked my chicken in the crock pot and made this yummy dish after work.
Do the bottom crescent rolls not burn when you bake it all together since they are prebaked??
No the bottom does not burn as there is moisture in the sauce. It also does not get soggy. The crescents make this pot pie awesome.
I only have one roll of crescent rolls- suggestions?
Don’t make a bottom crust
This looks great! Do you thinking making this the day before and popping it in the oven once you’re home from work would be ok? Or would that make the bottom crust soggy? Just trying to figure out how far I could go in the make ahead process for a quick weeknight meal. Thanks!
I would not put a bottom crust if you’re going to do that or it will get soggy.
I am going to try this tonight, but I don’t have frozen veggies on hand, I will use canned strained and hope it’s not too gooey. Also, I am going to pan fry my chicken and onions from raw while baking my bottom crust.
I made this for dinner tonight it was absolutely delicious!!!! Thank you! ?
Where is the recipe for crock pot beef stew that was on Pinterest? When I click on the peef stew I get the recipe for chicken pot pie.
Loved this recipe it turned out great! I used the leftover turkey we had from thanksgiving insteainstead of chicken. And if you use cresent dough sheets it saves a little time 🙂
Thank you I’ll have to try that next time. It was kind of annoying to have to fix the lines.
Tried this last night. It was really simple to make and tasted good! One thing I’d probably try next time is replace the top crust with pasty dough so it’s more flaky.
besides the delicious recipes, I love how easy it is to print the recipes…so many sites don’t have that option…
Has anyone tried freezing this recipe?
This recipe lacks flavor. It’s pretty bland. I followed directions exactly, used all the same ingredients. I even added spices to add some flavor but it didn’t help much. It turned out right, I mean it’s just like the picture just doesn’t taste great. It is a good base recipe but if I made it again I would have to come up with some adjustment.
Have you tried switching one of the cans of Cream of Chicken to Cream of mushroom?
Try seasoning your chicken the way you would if you were just eating that on its on. I used salt pepper and adobo.super good but not too much.
Have you ever tasted a chicken pot pie that actually has a lot of flavor?? I havent, this looks great! Got the mixture ready now, and it tastes like pot pie should!
Garlic salt
My family loved this tonight, I went to get the engrwdients and by the crescent rolls found a crescent roll sheet without the cut outs it helped on time by a little. It was great. Thanks
How can I make this using an 11×15 casserole pan?
adding celery salt to pie crust makes a wonderful pot pie so could try that with crescent rolls too. huge hit in our hosue
Just made this tonight! Excellent! We all loved it!! Thanks!!
I have never thought of making this into a casserole until I saw this!! I make something similar to this and use a can of Veg-All! I use pie crusts but will have to try this with the crescent rolls!
I’ve made this for years, but I make individual pies by putting 2 cresants together and use cream cheese and a tablespoon of melted butter instead of the soup. Plus trying to use up leftovers, you can use mashed potatoes.
I made this for company and it was yummy. I did make few adjustments after reading through the comments.
1)Used 1 can cream of chicken w/herbs, 1 can cream of celery
2) Added about 2 Ts white wine before adding soup to veggie/chicken mix.
3) Added about 2 ts Italian seasoning
I baked the bottom layer of crescents in the afternoon, as well as making the filling. When I was ready to bake it for dinner, I put the filling into the pan, then the top layer of crescents and baked.
This was a great easy recipe that makes enough for a group. I will be making this again. Thanks!
This dish was too good to be true! All we have is one corner piece left. I made this for my husband, 3 year old daughter & myself. We all had seconds! I did season the chicken very well (to my family’s liking), then sautéed the chopped onion in the same pan to absorb all the chicken drippings & seasoning. Also, instead of using plain cream of chicken soup I used ‘cream of chicken soup with seasoning’- just adds that much more flavor. The crust was not done when I first pulled it out and when I looked back at the recipe I realized I didn’t make slits for it to cook more thoroughly. With a few minor tweaks this recipe was a hit and will be making again! Definitely!! Thank you!
Made this tonight and it was amazing! Instead of letting the frozen stuff thaw, though, I steamed the veggies in the bag and cooked the potatoes with the onion as I cooked the chicken in a separate pan and baked the bottom layer – it definitely sped up the cooking time!
This looks delish! I am not a fan of cream soups, do you know a way to make this part homemade?
Thank you for a great blog and yummy recipes!
Lisa, I always replace cream soups in recipes for a simple “rue” idea. Equal parts butter and flour (I do a tbs of each and a 1-2 cups of milk). Melt butter in pan, don’t let it brown. Then add the flour until the rawness is out. A min or two. Again don’t let brown. Then add milk until disired texture and thickness. It will thicken as it cooks. Stir constantly. For cream of chicken I replace some milk for chicken stock. Season this mixture heavily. Otherwise it will be very blan. But don’t use to much salt!
I can use pie crust instead? Any adjustment that would be needed?
Ive seen recipes using pie crusts and puff pastry. Just google it.
I made this pot pie tonite and it was a huge hit, even with my grandson! I don’t like to change recipes the first time I make them. It actually drives me nuts when others totally tweak it and then rate it. Tweak it and put your own recipe on the site. I like constructive criticism, not do overs. My husband loved it but said it didn’t really need the dough on the bottom. But he gave it 2 thumbs up.. Anyway … wonderful! Thank you.
DELICIOUS!!! This was a huge hit!! Will make it again!!
My husband is in love with this! I used the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving but will definitely make again with chicken. I could live with out the bottom crust but the hubs said no way, it’s perfect! Thank you!
This was soooo good! I did not use the outlet seasoning because I don’t really care for it. Instead, I used salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Most of the seasoning was used cooking the chicken. I added additional salt and pepper and parsley before baking. My son said it was his. Ew favorite! Turned out so good!!!
I made this last night and thought it turned out great except that the bottom of the top layer was uncooked. I was embarrassed because we had company over for dinner and I didnt know how to remedy the problem! I even kept the casserole in the oven for almost 10-12 minutes longer because I read others having the same issue! Anyone have any suggestions? Would I have the same problem if I used a frozen pie crust? I even cut slits in the top like someone suggested, but that didn’t work.
How did you fix this problem? If you did. Mine did the same thing
Hubby says this one’s a 10 for sure & I agree!! Very tasty and easy!! Thanks for a great recipe!!
Please, has anybody tried freezing this dish? Thanks!
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! A couple of thing S I tweaked from reading the comments: no bottom crust, sub water for chicken broth, add garlic and onion powder, cream of chicken with herbs. NOt bland at all!! It’s a huge hit in our household. Thank you!!
Can I use a 13×9 casserole dish instead of a 11×13 with the same amount of ingredients?
Why would you post a recipe without the number of servings? Recipe is useless
Very good, and easy to make even for a man. I made it twice. The second one I skipped the bottom crust. And only put flattened biscuits on top. The result was totally different and yet still good. And it was less carbs.
I made this for dinner tonight. It is great. I would make this dish again.
Thanks for sharing…chicken pot pie is one of my ‘go to’ meals for families (new baby, loss of a loved one) but it can get awkward depending on how many are in the family – will one suffice? Should I make two and guarantee there is enough for leftover? This takes care of the issue, and keeps things simple for me, making it a meat and veggie dish all together! : )
Say I used regular raw potatoes, how would I alter it? Maybe dice and boil to almost done before adding all together and baking? Thanks
Hi Erika! That is exactly what I would do. If you give it a try, be sure to let us know.
I tried this tonight with a couple adjustments. I did cook some diced potatoes and put them in and it worked out great! I only one can of soup so it was a little watery and I used a can of corn, green beans and some freshly sliced carrots instead of frozen but still tasted awesome and I’ll remember to grab some next time I’m grocery shopping. This will be my go to pot pie recipe from now on.
Wow, very good. I added some black pepper and cayenne pepper. It added a touch of kick, but I can tell it would have been just as good without it. I’ll be making this again.
Made for dinner tonight. Changed recipe a little. Chicken broth instead of water. Cream of chicken soup with mushrooms and mixed vegetables (didn’t have peas and carrots at store). It was yummy even my husband agreed.
I just made 5 of these bad boys for gifts (I needed to get rid of some casserole dishes)… so easy and cost effective… 60 dollars and enough casserole to feed 10 people easy!
just wanted to say that I love your recipes. Made this tonight with quarter tsp. each thyme and sage. Not usually a fan of crescent rolls but they were on sale and we had a lot of leftover chicken so I tried it. Fabulous! Thanks for all your hard work in keeping up this super blog.
could you use rotisserie chicken?
Hi Karen! You sure can:)
Made this recepie for family the other night. I did use individual ramakins and omitted the bottom crust. It was a great hit and everyone was excited to be getting their own pot pie. Thanks for a great recepie!
