Using a Rotisserie Chicken:

Using leftover rotisserie chicken is a perfect shortcut for this meal. (Be sure to make some homemade chicken stock with the carcass!)

Make-Ahead Method

  • You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • When you’re ready to bake, pour the mixture into a lightly greased casserole dish.
  • Mix the Bisquick at the very last minute prior to baking. This will ensure that the top layer is light, fluffy, and is a perfect biscuit-like consistency.

Storage

Refrigerator

  • If you prepared the filling 2 days prior, store the leftovers for up to 2 days. 
  • Otherwise, leftovers can be stored for up to 4 days.

Freezer

  • Leftovers make a great freezer meal as well and can be stored for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, let frozen leftovers come defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating for best results.
  • Cover and bake the leftovers in a 350° oven for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the portion size.

  • Meanwhile, prepare biscuits in the oven according to package instructions. You'll want to make a minimum of four, (at least 1 for each person).
  • Add the golden brown biscuits to the top of the filling in the slow cooker, or slice each biscuit in half and spoon pot pie filling over the bottom biscuit and and top it with the other biscuit.

  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the cooked chicken and diced potatoes. Sprinkle with flour and toss to coat. Heat for 3 minutes.

Notes

Note 1:
  • I like to purchase a rotisserie chicken for this meal because I use the chicken for the filling and make an easy chicken broth with the carcass that I also use for the filling. This gives it ultimate homemade flavor!

Note 2:
  • For the Crock Pot and Instant Pot methods, you can also transfer the prepared filling to a casserole dish and pour the Bisquick batter on top and bake it from there for the full casserole version.

  1. Just wondering what size can of cream of chicken soup!! 

    Thanks!!

  2. Excellent recipe this one is going in the vault

  3.  This is only 4 servings?

  4. Instructions aren’t complete. No measurements. Won’t use this again.

    • I wouldn’t blame you there, except the measurements and full instructions are in the the recipe card at the bottom of the post. There is a “jump to recipe” button at the very top of the post that brings you to it. In the section with the visual step-by-step, (that you were looking at), there is a notation: “Ingredient quantities and full instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.” I’m actually surprised you found the comment section but missed all of these other indicators.

  5. Hello Stephanie, I just wanted to let you know that I made this recipe a couple months back and might I tell you my partner and I absolutely loved it. We loved it so much we ate it for three days straight…sometimes for lunch, too. In fact, here it is thanksgiving…and with Covid going on and busy schedules, we have decided to have your wonderful pot pie for Thanksgiving. And I noticed you have a pot pie soup recipe…hmmmm…now would that be overkill if I had that shortly after? I THINK NOT. LOL Just wanted to let you know you touched the hearts…er…um….stomachs of two more grateful individuals out there. Thank you so much…and I read your backstory, and believe in you. Good luck with all you do. Ive signed up for your seven day meal plan and hope to get more yummy emails. Thanks, again. And have a great, safe Thanksgiving. All the best.

    • Thanks so much Chad this just made my day!❤️ I’m so happy you and your partner are enjoying this… I actually love how you think because I would totally have a pot pie for Thanksgiving! Don’t tell anyone this but (*whisper voice*, since it’s just me, my husband, and daughter, sometimes I’ll make a chicken instead of a turkey 😜). Have a great Thanksgiving and thanks for taking the time to comment and review!

  6. Can this be frozen 

    • Yes, here is the info for freezing::)

      Freezer

      -Leftovers make a great freezer meal as well and can be stored for up to 3 months.
      -To reheat, let frozen leftovers come defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating for best results.
      -Cover and bake the leftovers in a 350° oven for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the portion size.

    • Are the potatoes cooked ahead like the chicken?

  7. If I’m cooking it in the slow cooker is it necessary to use precooked chicken? 

  8. Soooo what are the points for this pot pie

    • This isn’t a weight watchers recipe unfortunately. For some reason someone out there seems to be creating pins and labeling them as weight watchers and I have no idea why 🙁

  9. made this and was very happy for a tasty new way to use up left over chicken!

  10. Great recipe! Only alteration I made was accidentally did oregano rather than rosemary, still worked out and I added less turmeric. We did not care for the Bisquick topping – will do biscuits on the side or another alternative next time we make it. The fillings was delicious though!
