Rotisserie Chicken Pot Pie
Rotisserie Chicken Pot Pie is classic comfort food, but made way easier with the help of rotisserie chicken and puff pastry. The perfect family-friendly weeknight meal!
I teamed up with Kroger to share this tasty recipe for Rotisserie Chicken Pot Pie. As always, all opinions are my own.
Chicken Pot Pie has been one of my favorite comfort foods since I was a child. And my kiddos love this meal just as much I did. It’s loaded with shredded chicken, carrots, and peas and then topped with delicious, flaky puff pastry. Yum! It will definitely get everyone running to the dinner table!
I’m sharing this delicious, get everyone to the table recipe for National Family Meals Month™. National Family Meals Month™, is an industry-wide movement to raise awareness of the benefits of frequent family meals. I know with after school activities and busy work schedules it can be challenging to get the whole family around the dinner table every night. But I do try to make an effort to have a healthy family meal, that we all enjoy together, at least a couple of nights a week.
There are so many benefits of cooking up and sharing a family meal together. According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, kids- from elementary to high school age – who eat meals with their families four times a week or more earn better test scores and succeed in school. And according to the Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health, frequent meals increase self-esteem, a sense of wellbeing, positive social behaviors, and stronger family relationships.
Enjoying family meals together is also a great way to bond and catch up with your loved ones. And this Rotisserie Chicken Pot Pie recipe could not be more perfect for coming together to celebrate National Family Meals Month™. They work wonderfully with a side salad and my kiddos always gobble them up.
Making these mini chicken pot pies was ridiculously easy and they come together in very little hands on time. These are such a fun and delicious meal idea when you have a craving for comfort food!
No worries if you don’t have individual ramekins or pie plates, you can also make one large pot pie, using a 3-quart casserole dish. I have to say, I was pretty excited to find the cute little pie plates at Kroger and I know these will come in handy this fall when I’m baking up fruity crisps and other cobbler-type desserts.
Enjoy your favorite comfort food, made it a teensy bit healthier, and the perfect serving size for dinner. These mini chicken pot pies are also freezer-friendly, so you can take them out and heat them up in the oven after a long day, and they’re also made easier thanks to rotisserie chicken and a bit of puff pastry.

This sounds like a wonderful recipe for those who enjoy chicken. It seems like the perfect pot dish for the autumn cosy weather coming up!
I would love to have these mini pies as snacks! Thanks for sharing the statistics, I knew that dining together plays a good role in relationship (with no phones/tv/tablets/notebooks at the table). But this also impacts the children behavior! Well then I think recipes like this can help some families to get together and share simple and delicious food!
I love this easy version of chicken pot pie! I buy a rotisserie chicken every week and didn’t even think about making a pot pie!
Oh wow that sounds delicious and such a great family meal for autumn. I am going to try this with gluten free pastry so I can enjoy it too!
Such a great shortcut for one of my families favorite meals! This is a game changer!
Chicken pot pie is one of my absolute favorite comfort foods too! I love this version! Thanks for sharing it.
This looks so wholesome and comforting. I love that it gets on the table much quicker than a traditional chicken pot pie as well. Great use for rotisserie chicken!
These pies look so hearty and tasty , perfect for the cold weather.
Kim you always tempt me with your amazing new recipes. I already have 3 recipes of your in my bucket to try I am adding it too.
Perfection! Easy and so delicious. For my family this is a perfect solution for me when I want my chicken pot pie, always made in large portions, and the husband does not like casserole dishes of any type. Now I can make this recipe for a meal and freeze the rest for another time. Genius!
I think that bringing the family together at meal times is super important as it really gives everyone a chance to connect! Wonderful to see you creating recipes to support this initiative 🙂
Having the time to enjoy a meal together is really important, time to stop, relax and communicate. A tasty meal like this is idea for all to enjoy. Great that you made individual pies, a lovely way to serve them.
Will have to try this and making individual pot pies for my daughter does not care for peas in anything so I can do this and make one for her and one for me which will be loaded. I love your recipes and the fact that you buy from Kroger. Wish we still could for that is where I have been shopping for over 20 years but alas, they have closed all our stores in my area and they are becoming Harris Teeter which I don’t visit very often because of their high prices. {{sigh}}
I’ve made my own chicken pot pie before — from scratch — as in pie dough, bechamel, chicken… love this easier version and the individual portions is genius.
Chicken pot pie is one of my favorites, too. Looks like you have a great way to put it together without too much trouble. Yum!
