LET’S TALK ABOUT ABOUT PIE CRUST
- I love buying pre-made pie crusts from the stores, as they are flaky, tasty and just so much easier than making from scratch. My favorite is the Pillsbury brand (2-packs) found in the refrigerated section. I don’t like the frozen crusts in pie tins as much (even though they do work) because you’ll need to flip over one of them for your top crust, thaw it and roll it out a bit to get it to work.
- You could make your chicken pot pie crust from scratch! I’d recommend Crazy For Crust’s all-butter pie crust as it has turned out perfectly for me every time. The Gracious Pantry has a whole wheat pie crust recipe and What The Fork’s Gluten-free Pie Crust is amazing as well.
- If you prefer a biscuit dough crust you could take 1 cup of my homemade Bisquick copycat recipe, add 1/2 cup of milk and one egg, mix that together and spread it over one 9-inch pie. Using my filling recipe below you’d bake it at 400°F for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Puff Pastry works for an easy pie crust too! Thaw it first, then either cut it into strips, weave it or simply place it on the top. Bake at 400°F for 40-45 minutes or until golden.
- If you’re not a huge fan of pie crust, only add it to the top of the pie pan instead of top and bottom.
MAKE AHEAD CHICKEN POT PIE
Can you refrigerate Chicken Pot Pie before baking? Yes! Simply make as directed including adding the pie crust. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you are ready to bake it, preheat your oven, remove from the fridge, and add the egg wash (if using). Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes covered with foil, then remove foil and bake an additional 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and sauce bubbling inside.
