What You Will Need:

Here is what you need to add to your grocery list to make crescent roll chicken pot pie:

• Crescent Rolls– did you know you can buy a can of crescent roll sheets? These don’t have the precut triangles and are just a sheet of crescent dough that works perfectly with this recipe. I usually find them right next to the regular crescent dough cans.
• Chicken– a rotisserie chicken makes this recipe quick or just cook up a few chicken breasts to add to the pot pie.
• Onion– look for a yellow or white onion
• Garlic– fresh is best. I like to use a garlic press to easily mince the garlic right into the pan
• Celery- adds a little crunch and a lot of flavor to this recipe
• Peas and Carrots– pick up a bag of frozen peas and carrots to quickly add to the pot pie mixture
• Flour– used in this recipe to thicken the chicken gravy
• Chicken Broth– homemade or store-bought will add a ton of flavor
• Half and Half or Milk– using half and half will make this more creamy, but milk will work in a pinch
• Spices and Seasonings

How to Level Up This Recipe

This recipe is absolutely delicious if prepared following the written recipe, however, you can make a few adjustments to take it to the next level or even have more vegetables. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Add-ins: try adding in diced potatoes, green beans, asparagus, or even corn for a different texture and flavor.
2. Double up the protein: it seems to be all the rage these days, getting in all that protein. You can easily add additional chicken to this pot pie recipe to up the protein level.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Crescent Rolls

This is a perfect weeknight chicken dinner because it comes together quickly, and takes just a few minutes to prepare before baking. Let’s walk through the simple steps with a few tips and tricks.

1. Prepare the bottom crust: to ensure that the bottom crust is not soggy, we start this recipe by baking the bottom crust for 5-7 minutes
2. Make the Chicken Pot Pie Filling: melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add in the diced onion and celery. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes, until it is just soft. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Add in the garlic and cook for just 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat everything in the pan.
3. Make the gravy: add in the chopped chicken, chicken broth, and half and half. Stir over medium heat and bring to a simmer until the gravy thickens. Lastly, add in the frozen peas and carrots and Worcestershire sauce.
4. Prepare for baking: pour the pot pie filling evenly into the bottom crust that has been partially baked. Place the second sheet of crescent roll dough over the top of the filling, trying to pinch the bottom and top pieces together along the sides. Use a sharp knife to slice a few slits in the top of the crust.
5. Bake the pot pie: bake the pot pie for 20-25 minutes until the dough is golden brown. Brush the top of the crescent roll pot pie with melted butter when it comes out of the oven.

Storage and Leftovers

To store any leftovers of this chicken pot pie casserole, allow it to cool before covering it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

I have found that if I put this in the refrigerator while it is still warm, the dough becomes wet and soggy. This recipe really is the best when made and eaten on the same day.
