Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Mix ingredients

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the casserole

Spread the mixture into a greased casserole dish. Unroll the pie crusts and place one on top of the chicken mixture. Cut slits in the crust for steam to escape.

Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before digging in to allow the filling to set slightly.

Serving Suggestions

When serving your easy homemade chicken pot pie casserole, consider pairing it with a simple side salad for a balanced meal. A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette complements the rich flavors of the casserole, providing a refreshing contrast. You might also enjoy serving it with crusty bread to soak up the delicious creamy filling.

For those looking to expand their culinary repertoire, try adding some roasted vegetables as a side. Carrots, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus bring a pop of color and nutrition to your plate while perfectly complementing the comforting flavors of the casserole.

Storage and Reheating

Leftovers from your chicken pot pie casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This makes it a great option for meal prep or enjoying later in the week. If you want to extend the life of your delicious creation, consider freezing portions for quick reheating on busy nights.

To reheat, simply place the casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until it is heated through, about 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, individual portions can be microwaved for a quick meal. If the crust becomes too brown while reheating, cover it with foil until warmed. Enjoy your leftovers with the same delight as the first serving!
